The ashy wood pigeon is a large forest pigeon with dark slate-grey plumage, a paler head and contrasting pale band across the tail. It ranges from the Himalayas through southern China and Taiwan into mainland Southeast Asia, chiefly in montane evergreen forest. Often high in the canopy, pairs and flocks feed on fruit, berries and seeds and make strong direct flights between forested ridges (Wikipedia, general species account). It is Nationally Near Threatened (Thailand Red Data 2025).
