Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon (Treron phoenicopterus phoenicopterus) - 20150129-09

             Brightly-colored pigeon with significant regional variation. Look for a gray “shoulder strap” and yellow legs. South Asian birds are the brightest, with an orange-yellow neck and green underparts. Southeast Asian birds have more extensive gray on the underparts. Sexes are similar. Found in lowland forest and forest edge, as well as parks, gardens, and orchards; a common urban bird in much of its South Asian range. Not extremely vocal; occasionally gives cooing whistles.

-----------------
Our first view of this colourful pigeon was on a street near our hotel in Delhi. This one was in a more rural area, but much more visible.  I love their bright, yellow feet.
