Keay's Blood-breasted Pigeon differs from all the other 

 members of the group to which it belongs in possessing a 

 conspicuous white band across the wing. It most resembles 

 P. criniyera, Avliich is found in Mindanao, Basilan, &c., but 

 unlike that species it has (in addition to the white wing- 

 band) the lesser wing-coverts metallic green, the under 

 surface white, and the breast-spot much smaller and of a 

 different colour, being of the same tint as in P. luzonicaj
