Gallicolumba Luzonica

The Luzon bleeding-heart dove is a ground dove. The bleeding heart dove has an average weight of 6.5 oz., and is typically 11.8 inches long, with a wingspan of 15 inches. The “blood” feature is most pronounced, with the reddish hue extending down the belly, furthering the illusion of blood having run down the bird’s breast. On the upper surfaces, the bird is slate grey in color, but because it is iridescent, it can appear to be purple, royal blue, or bottle-green, depending on the light.
