Like G. albiventer, this species has the under wing-coverts and the quill-linings 
cinnamon or light chestnut, and the tail also dark cinnamon, but the abdomen is 
rufous, like the rest of the underparts. G. montana is a forest-bird, and on the 
mainland is nowhere abundant, though on some of the West-Indian Islands, as in 
Cuba and Jamaica, it is more plentiful. Here it frequents the forests, feeding on 
seeds, berries, and small slugs. Gosse describes the nest as a rude structure composed 
of sticks and dead leaves placed on bushes at a height of from three to five feet from 
the ground 2, The eggs are two in number, but are rather more rounded than is 
usual with Pigeons, of a pale cream or pink-buff colour .
