Spotted Dove (Spilopelia chinensis, 珠颈斑鸠).
Overlooking the odd feral pigeon, there are two main species of doves common to the woodland areas of Changsha. The oriental turtle-dove has more colourful feathers and makes a 'here-here-oo-oo' sound, while this spotted dove is plainer (aside from its black and white neck half-collar and its rosy-grey breast feathers) and makes a 'coo-coo-a-roo' call. They are both shy, and liable to fleeing ground or perch at the raising of a camera or swift hand-movement.
