About the Lined Quail-Dove

The lined quail-dove (Zentrygon linearis) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found in Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. The lined quail-dove's taxonomic history is complex. It was originally placed in genus Geotrygon. It, the white-faced quail-dove (Z. albifacies), and the Chiriqui quail-dove (Z. chiriquensis) have been treated as a superspecies or even as conspecific. It has two subspecies, the nominate Zentrygon linearis linearis and A. l. trinitatis. The population of the nominate in Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta has been proposed as a separate subspecies. A. l. trinitatis has been treated as a separate species by some authors, and the mainland population of it has been proposed to be split as separate subspecies.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 44 recordings for this species: 20 CC BY-NC-SA · 10 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.
