Paraclaravis

• Purple-winged Ground Dove Paraclaravis godefrida

  This dove has older records from southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and Misiones, Argentina. Historical accounts link it to bamboo and forest edges and describe ground feeding, but they do not establish present occupancy.

• Maroon-chested Ground Dove Paraclaravis mondetoura

  This nomadic dove lives in dense undergrowth of montane forests and is strongly associated with bamboo. It appears when bamboo fruits and searches on the ground for seeds and fallen fruit.
