About this species
The ruddy pigeon (Patagioenas subvinacea) is a largish pigeon which breeds from Costa Rica south to western Ecuador, Bolivia, and central Brazil. It belongs to a clade of small and rather plain species of Patagioenas with characteristic calls that constitute the subgenus Oenoenas. Like the other New World pigeons, it was formerly united with their Old World relatives in Columba, but today the New World genus Patagioenas is recognized as distinct again.
The ruddy pigeon is 28 cm (11 in) long and weighs 170 g. It is unpatterned and mainly wine-purple in colour, becoming more rufous on the back. The tail and primary flight feathers are dark brown, the bill is black, and the legs are purple-red. The iris is typically red, but can, at least in the Amazon basin, sometimes be dull yellow (however, due to the red eye-ring, the iris never appears as conspicuously white as in adults of the sympatric subspecies of the plumbeous pigeon, P. plumbea).

Pertenece a un pequeño subgénero, Oenoenas, dentro de Patagioenas de aspecto bastante sencillo y con llamadas característicos. Al igual que los demás miembros de su género, anteriormente estaba incluida dentro del género Columba, hasta que se reconoció el género Patagioenas.
La paloma vinosa mide 28 cm de largo y pesa alrededor de 170 g y es de color rosado violáceo, que se torna más rojizo en la espalda. La cola y las plumas de las alas primarias son de color marrón oscuro, el pico es de color negro, y las patas son de color morado rojizo. El iris generalmente es rojo, pero a veces, al menos en la cuenca del Amazonas, puede ser amarillo pálido (sin embargo, debido al efecto rojo en el anillo ocular, el iris nunca se ve notoriamente blanco como en los adultos de la subespecie de la paloma simpátrica Plumbeous, P. Plumbea.
