Amethyst Brown-Dove, Phapitreron amethystina


I caught this bird on my Olympus cam last October 16 near noon. I think it is a wild dove, but I am not sure. It has a distinctive white ear line.


I googled for Negros brown dove and I found this link. This is my best guess so far. The second best guess is Phapitreron leucotis but I cannot see the white breast and bluish tinge at the back of the head. I am willing to be corrected.
