Streptopelia turtur
Very similar to the spotted dove Spilopelia chinensis, which is common in Kolkata, India, except that the collar of this bird bears a striped pattern and is not spotted. The pattern on the wings are also much more bold. The bird walks happily on the ground looking for food.
Ule Ethic Resort, Alchi Village on the banks of the River Indus. These birds were quite common. Foraging on the ground or sitting on the electric wires.
