Zenaida asiatica
Translingual
editEtymology
editThe specific epithet asiatica (“Asian”) is erroneous as the species is not found in Asia; it may have resulted from confusing the West Indies (part of its habitat) and the East Indies (in Asia).
Proper noun
edit- A taxonomic species within the family Columbidae – white-winged dove.
