Leptotila verreauxi
This dove is about 28 cm (11 in) in length. It has pink/red legs and feet and grayish/brown body above with a paler gray/brown tinge below. A broad band of white tips its tail, which is best seen in flight, and gives the dove its name.
This dove is widely spread through the southern tip of Texas and south into South America. This bird was photographed in an open to brushy forest in southern Texas.
