This colourful little pigeon is found only on a remote, uninhabited island in the South Pacific Ocean. Its forehead and crown are a bright crimson, narrowly bordered by golden-yellow. The head, neck, upper back and chest are a silvery-grey tinged with green, whilst the rest of the body is dark olive-green with a yellowish-green belly. The wing feathers are edged in yellow, and it has a yellow-green bill and red feet (2) (3). Juveniles can be identified by the lack of a crimson crown (2). Like other pigeons, the Henderson fruit-dove has a coarse cooing call (3).
