Cinnamon Dove (Peristera larvata)—The cinnamon dove is 
another small bush pigeon inhabiting the thicker parts of the 
woods, and may be constantly seen scratching among the leaves on 
the ground. The sportsman lying in wait for game is frequently 
annoyed by the rustling noise they make, mistaking it for the 
approach of an antelope. Its length is ten and a half inches; 
upper parts dark brown, with green and coppery reflections ; under 
parts deep brick-red ; forehead and throat white; tail tipped with 
ash.
