- Leptotila cassini
Identification
As with other Leptotila species, identification of Gray-chested Dove is based on subtle field marks. Overall, it is darker than sympatric White-tipped and Gray-headed Doves with the dark-gray chest apparent. A close look at the head reveals reddish orbital skin; a field mark lacking in White-tipped Dove but shared with Gray-headed Dove. The dark tones to the plumage of Gray-headed Dove approach those of Gray-chested but Gray-headed has a buffish breast and cheeks. On the southern Pacific slope of Costa Rica and western Panama, Gray-chested Dove also shows a brown patch on the back of the head.
