Nicobar Pigeon

Nicobar Pigeon adult males have a slate-gray head and upper neck, contrasting with dark body plumage that shines metallic green, bronze, and copper. Overlapping wing and back feathers display extensive iridescence, the breast is dark gray with a green gloss, and the short tail is white. Long, narrow neck feathers form conspicuous hackles that drape over the shoulders, adding a distinctive elongated outline to the neck.
