Which is the world's smallest dove?

Niven

I do not know if this is correct or not but I found it on the American Dove
Association web page.

"The pygmy ground dove (Columbina minuta) is the smallest. This diminutive
dove is greyish brown, with upper parts that are gray with steel-blue marks.
The tail is short and rounded. The hen is plain gray-olive, with whitish
under parts. This tiny dove is fairly common in Mexico and South America."
