The zebra dove, as you’d probably guess, has a striped pattern across its feathers. If it was spotted it would probably be a leopard dove I guess.

It is also known as the barred ground dove and is a bird of the dove family, Columbidae, which is native to Southeast Asia. They are small birds with a long tail and are predominantly brownish-grey in colour with black-and-white barring. They are known for their pleasant soft, staccato cooing calls.

They feed on seeds and small invertebrates.
