About West Peruvian Dove
The West Peruvian dove or Pacific dove was first described in 1843 by the Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob Baron von Tschudi. It is closely related to the North American White-winged dove, but is now considered a separate species by ornithologists due to genetic and behavioral differences.
