Hix 31 Mar 2010 All my books (and the internet) say that the white tips to the crown is unique to the Victoria Crowned. Unless, of course, they hybridised the two.

Maguari 31 Mar 2010 Interestingly, this bird: http://www.zoochat.com/197/scheepmakers-crowned-pigeon-cotswolds-06-a-37908/ doesn't have the white tips. (and neither does the one on the Cotswold homepage - http://www.cotswoldwildlifepark.co.uk/index.php)

Maguari 31 Mar 2010 Well, ISIS lists Cotswold's Goura as 0.1 G. scheepmakeri and 1.1 G. scheepmakeri sclaterii (Cotswold is on as 'BURFORD'). Not sure if the subspecies sclaterii differs from G. s. scheepmakeri?
