Tawitawi Brown Dove (Phapitreron cinereiceps) [XC81128]
     by id from Lubbuk, Tawi Tawi, Philippines (song)

Subspecies
Phapitreron cinereiceps (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Dark-eared Brown-Dove (Phapitreron cinereiceps) and Dark-eared Brown-dove (Phapitreron brunneiceps) following Collar et al. (1999).

Sometimes considered conspecific with Amethyst Brown-Dove (Phapitreron amethystinus), but the two have been found to exist sympatrically on eastern slope of Mt McKinley, Mindanao.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

  • brunneiceps (Bourns & Worcester, 1894)   -  South-eastern Philippines, on Mindanao (Bukidnon Province and Mts Malindang, Hilong Hilong, McKinley and Mayo) and Basilan. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Dark-eared Brown-dove (Phapitreron brunneiceps).
  • cinereiceps (Bourns & Worcester, 1894)   -  Southern Philippines, on Tawitawi.


Similar Species
Dark-eared Brown-dove (Phapitreron brunneiceps) has brown crown, vinous-grey belly, buff vent and undertail-coverts. Possibly confusable with Sulu Bleeding-heart (Gallicolumba menagei) if seen poorly, and smaller Emerald Dove (Chalcophaps indica) which has green upperparts and white forehead.
