Third in a series about the dove species that can be found in west Texas. Inca Dove. Colombina inca). Smallest of the doves found locally. Very secretive little bird. Small, deep-bellied, long-tailed dove with a short neck, small head, and short bill. Pale gray to sandy colored overall. All feathers brown-tipped to give a scaled look. To me, this bird is the cutest of the species.
