Zenaida asiatica
Translingual
Etymology
The specific epithet asiatica (“Asian”) is erroneous as the species is not found in Asia; it may have resulted from confusing the West Indies (part of its habitat) and the East Indies (in Asia).
Proper noun
- A taxonomic species within the family Columbidae – white-winged dove.
