''Columbina'' is a genus that contains seven species of small ground-doves that live in the New World. Species in ''Columbina'' have ranges from the southern United States through Central America and much of South America. ''Columbina'' doves are normally found in pairs or small flocks. They generally occur in open country. They have maroon irides and pinkish legs. In flight, some species show a distinctive flash of rufous in the wings, while others show black-and-white wing-patterns. ==Species== * Blue-eyed ground dove, ''Columbina cyanopis'' * Common ground dove, ''Columbina passerina'' * Croaking ground dove, ''Columbina cruziana'' * Ecuadorian ground dove, ''Columbina buckleyi'' * Picui ground dove, ''Columbina picui'' * Plain-breasted ground dove, ''Columbina minuta'' * Ruddy ground dove, ''Columbina talpacoti'' The following 2 species are usually placed here, but separated in genus ''Scardafella'' by some authors: * Inca dove, ''Columbina inca'' * Scaled dove, ''Columbina squammata'' ''"Columbina" prattae'' from Early Miocene deposits of Florida is nowadays tentatively separated in ''Arenicolumba'', but its distinction from ''Columbina/Scardafella'' needs to be more firmly established. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Columbina (genus)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
