A Collared Dove, Streptopelia decaocto, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae, which encompasses both doves and pigeons. Originating from Asia, the Collared Dove has a sturdy body, a relatively small head, and a distinctive collar at the nape of the neck, hence the name. It appears as a pale, grayish-pink bird with a dark crescent collar.

The Collared Dove is small, slim dove with quite a long tail - it is much smaller than a Wood Pigeon. The plumage of this elegant dove is mostly a pale brown-grey but the breast is a pinkish buff colour. Adults can be distinguished from juveniles by the narrow black and white band round the back of the neck (which juveniles lack).

The Eurasian collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto), often simply just collared dove, is a dove species native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. It has also been introduced to Japan, North and Central America, and the islands in the Caribbean.
