White-crowned Pigeon Patagioenas leucocephala

Despite the scientific name Patagioenas, the White-crowned Pigeon is native to several Caribbean islands and the Caribbean coast of Central America and the tip of Florida.

Male and female have similar plumage but males have a brighter white crown and females a greyish white. They are threatened by deforestation and disturbance of nesting and feeding areas in some regions but are important for dispersal of seeds and fruits.
