Seram Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula neglecta)

I believe this is a new species for the gallery. Endemic to a limited range on Seram and satellite islands in the south Moluccas. This large pigeon can be identified by its green wings, gray head and body and a noticeable white eye-ring. Formerly lumped with Spectacled Imperial-Pigeon (D. perspicillata) of the western and northern Moluccas.

It reminded me of Green Imperial Pigeon I saw here in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Great capture.
