The zebra dove is also known as the barred ground dove and barred dove. It is a small beautiful dove I saw in Singapore at the Botanical Gardens. Per Wikipedia, the "upperparts are brownish-gray with black and white barring. The underparts are pinkish with black bars on the sides of the neck, breast and belly. The face is blue-gray with bare blue skin around the eyes. There are white tips on the tail feathers."

They are native to Southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa, as well as the Philippines. It can now be found other places, such as Hawaii and the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sulawesi.
I love this bird! Not only are the bars really cool, but the wings look like wood shavings. Nice.
