Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon

The wedge-tailed green pigeon, or Kokla green pigeon, is a greenish-yellow pigeon with a wedge-shaped tail, which is absent in females because the plumage differs between the sexes, as is typical of green pigeons. It is found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and elsewhere. In Assam, historical ornithological literature records several local names (Wikipedia, general species account).

The Lepcha name recorded for it is Kuhu, while the pin-tailed green pigeon is called Sang-pong. The cached account gives no details of its diet, behaviour or breeding. SoIB 2023 treats it as a resident forest bird that eats fruit and nectar, rates it a Low conservation priority, and gives a Moderate range of about 155,000 km² and a stable current trend (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
