ID 264028919 © Ricardnature | Megapixl.com
This is a Zenaida asiatica dove species, Columbidae family. It was like dancing, moving the tail up and down on the metal wire. Common name: white-winged dove. Native range extends from the Southwestern United States through Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. Bulky, grayish-brown dove with conspicuous white patch on wings. When perched, the white patch looks like a line along the bottom edge of the wing, but it is more obvious in flight, contrasting with the dark outer wings. They have a blue eyering, and red eyes. Legs and feet are brighter pink red. Their diet consists mostly of grains, but will also include pollen and nectar, especially from the saguaro cactus, which is a vital source of water. Observed in Mixco City, near Guatemala City.
