This species has been extensively photographed by many birders at Candaba and its ID is pretty established already.

sir, correct me if i'm wrong, the books we are referring to are confusing, i think this is the Philippine turtle dove(abuhin in tagalog) and the other one similiar to this is called the dwarf turtle dove(sabiki/baskal).
