The white-bellied green pigeon is a medium-sized, compactly built pigeon 33–36 centimetres (13–14 in) long. The males have a bright green head and chest, olive-coloured wings, throat and neck, a patch of maroon on the shoulders, and a white belly, undertail and legs, as the name suggests. The tail is short, 103–122 mm long, dark green with blackish sides. Its beak is 17–21 mm long, light bluish with a grey tip. The eye rings are vivid blue, the iris pink to violet. Their feet are red to violet. The females are similar to the males, but are not as colourful.
