Description: 

Like most of the Ground-Dove species in Papua, the Bronze Groud-Dove is a difficult to observe species. It is a shy bird, which forages on the ground and in the dense undergrowth. As I spent several days in a hide at the dance ground of a Magnificent Bird of Paradise, I was lucky to be able to take pictures at close range from this inconspicuous species.
