- Dark grayish head with reddish eyes
- Grayish-brown wings
- Thick, white and horizontal streak underneath the eye
- Bill is two toned: pink at the base and cream at the tip
- You can see iridescent green, blue and purple on the nape, neck-sides and upper back. This iridescence only shows in good light.
This quail-dove is found on most islands in the northern part of the Lesser Antilles, as far south as St Lucia.
