Spotted Dove

Streptopelia chinensis

Originally from Southeast Asia, this large dove was introduced to Hawaii in the 1860’s for
sport shooting and is now throughout the main islands. They occupy a wide range of
habitats and are quite common in urban areas where they are usually friendly and approachable.

Beautiful plumage. (Even better than the Norwegian Blue.)
Seriously, a great shot of those details.
