About: Olive pigeon

The olive pigeons are four allopatric species of pigeon, named for their association with olive (Olea) species. They have a maroon tone to the speckled plumage, and inhabit cool, montane forests of Africa and its associated islands. Together with the speckled wood pigeon, they are seen as members of a superspecies, which has affinities with the white-naped pigeon. * African olive pigeon, Columba arquatrix * Cameroon olive pigeon, Columba sjostedti * São Tomé olive pigeon, Columba thomensis * Comoros olive pigeon, Columba pollenii * Speckled wood pigeon, Columba hodgsonii, of Asia
