About the Yungas Dove

The Yungas dove (Leptotila megalura), also known as the white-faced dove or large-tailed dove, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found in Argentina and Bolivia. The Yungas dove is monotypic. However, the southern population has sometimes been suggested as a distinct subspecies. The Yungas dove and the grey-fronted dove (L. rufaxilla) are sister species.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 27 recordings for this species: 11 CC BY-NC-SA · 8 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
