Leptotila is a genus of birds in the dove and pigeon family Columbidae. These are ground-foraging doves that live in the Americas.
The genus Leptotila was introduced by the English naturalist William John Swainson in 1837 with the Caribbean dove Leptotila jamaicensis as the type species.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek leptos meaning "delicate" or "slender" with ptilon meaning "feather".[3]
The genus contains the following 11 species:[4]
White-tipped dove, Leptotila verreauxi
Yungas dove, Leptotila megalura
Grey-fronted dove, Leptotila rufaxilla
Grey-headed dove, Leptotila plumbeiceps
Pallid dove, Leptotila pallida
Azuero dove, Leptotila battyi – split from the grey-headed dove
Grenada dove, Leptotila wellsi
Caribbean dove, Leptotila jamaicensis
Grey-chested dove, Leptotila cassinii
Ochre-bellied dove, Leptotila ochraceiventris
Tolima dove, Leptotila conoveri
