Appearance
As most other fruit doves, it is largely green. The chest is duller and browner, the throat and nape are grey-white, and, uniquely for a fruit dove, the wings are spotted pink. The face and crown are usually olive-green, but this is replaced by pale grey in the north-eastern subspecies "plumbeicollis". The male and female are essentially identical.Naming
Three subspecies of the pink-spotted fruit dove are recognised.⤷ "P. p. perlatus" – Temminck, 1835: the nominate subspecies
