Dear colleagues
Sorry to trouble you. I have a distant photo of a bird .
The attached photo was taken in the Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka
It is a distant shot of a pigeon - one of the green pigeon species .
I understand there are three species of green pigeon that it could be.
Namely :
Pompadour Green Pigeon
Orange-breasted Green Pigeon
Sri Lankan Green Pigeon.
I know this is a difficult one but please can anyone advise which one the photo could be of. If I can nail it down it will be a lifer for me.
I understand that the most common green pigeon at this location is the Orange-breasted, but one would want to identify the bird on its own appearance if you know what I mean.
Please can anyone with more experience or expertise than me see any pointers in the picture that would make an id possible?
