Zenaida meloda
The West Peruvian dove is a medium-sized dove, being 25–33 cm (9.8–13.0 in) and weighing around 216 g (0.476 lb). Adults of either sex are similar, with brownish-gray upperparts, a buff face and neck that fades into gray at the chest, and warm gray underparts with pink-red to pinkish tinging. Wings have a prominent white band, which is visible as a distinctive white crescent at rest and in flight. Tailfeathers are tipped with gray and the tail has a broad white corner. Legs and feet are red. It has a featherless ring of bright indigo to violet-blue skin around each eye.

Zenaida Dove
Zenaida aurita
The Zenaida dove is approximately 28–30 cm (11–12 in) in length. It looks very similar to the mourning dove, but is smaller in size, has a shorter, more rounded tail, and is a bit more darkly colored. It is also distinguished from the mourning dove by showing white on the trailing edge of its wings while in flight. The mourning dove does not have the white trailing edge.
