Brush Bronzewing

BRUSH BRONZEWING Phaps elegans

 

 

 

There are plenty of pigeons and doves around Kilmore. This is one I do not see very often.

 

 

 

 

This Brush Bronzewing,  a female, and  was sitting all alone amongst the trees around the Hospital Reservoir, late in the afternoon.

 

 

It was very placid and not at all concerned by my presence.

 

 

She does not have the red-brown hind-neck nor can I see the reddish bib that the male birds shows.
