 red on the stiffish feathers of crop, shading into pale salmon on lower 

 breast and abdomen; sides gray; flanks, thighs, and under tail-coverts

 half of inner web of primaries cinnamon; greater and median coverts 

 reddish brown with wide gray tips forming two gray bands across each 

 wing; lesser coverts gray; two middle pairs of rectrices brown on upper 

 surface ; the other rectrices gray, each with a sub terminal black bar.

 Wing, 148; tail, 112; culmen from base, 21; tarsus, 35. A female from 

 the same province measures : Wing, 145 ; tail, 102 ; culmen from base,

This beautiful dove is often found in the Manila markets; it is a 

 well-known favorite of the Spaniards. The species is commonly known 

 as punalada which means "stabbed with a dagger." The Calamianes 

 record of this species is doubtless an error.
