This species, originally described from Colombia}, is also found in Venezuela and 
Guiana, and extends to Ecuador, Trinidad, and Peru. It is very plentiful in Costa 
Rica and Panama, where it frequents the second-growth woods. In the Gulf of 
Nicoya it is the common Dove of the region.

Count Salvadori places this species in a section of the genus Leptoptila characterized 
by the bluish-grey crown. This, however, is a feature so liable to variation that we 
cannot accord much value to it, and, so far as we are able to judge, Z. gawmeri is 
closely allied to Z. verreauai, having the same cinnamon quill-lining, and only 
differing in the colour of the head and the metallic neck. 
L. gaumeri is found only in Yucatan and the adjacent islands of Cozumel, Jolbox, 
and Mugeres. There is no special record of its habits, though possibly some of the 
notes relating to L. brachyptera and L. fulviventris may refer to this species.
