Observation details
Continuing bird. Although guides put this as heavier/larger than White-headed Pigeon, it felt like a slimmer bird. More white overall in flight with mottled black/white under tail pattern noticeable as it comes in to land. Holds tail feathers together while resting - thus tapering to a slim point unlike the other pigeon species present. Waggled tail a few times and spent time preening. Pale yellow bill. Black eye. No noticeable eye ring.
