The white-headed fruit dove (Ptilinopus eugeniae) is a species of bird in the pigeon family, Columbidae. It was described by John Gould in 1856, and the specific nameeugeniae honours Eugénie de Montijo. Adults of the species have white heads, a purplish-red breast patch, a grey shoulder patch, olive-green upperparts, greenish underparts with a blue tinge, and a yellowish vent. Juveniles have green heads with the white restricted to the forehead and upper throat, a much smaller grey shoulder patch, and the red breast patch restricted to the centre of the breast. The species is endemic to Makira and the nearby islands of Ugi and Malaupaina in the Solomon Islands. It inhabits lowland, hill, and ridge forest, along with neighbouring agricultural areas, and is especially common in foothills. Its diet consists of small-seeded fruits and berries. The IUCN considers it a least-concern species. Although it can adapt to disturbed habitat, it is threatened by deforestation and habitat loss. (Fullarticle...)
