Streptopelia orientalis

Populations of N Asia from Siberia to Japan and Kuril Is migrate S to winter in S &E Asia from India to S & E China and S Japan. Generally resident in S Asia, but some populations are migratory; Himalayan and other N Indian populations migrate S to Peninsular India to overwinter. Winter range poorly known, partly due to complications of subspecific identification.
