Hi Belinda,

The adult male Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove has a purple wash on the breast and an 
orage and yellow belly.  I would think that the most likely ID for your bird 
would be an immature male Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove beginning to assume its adult 
colours.  You didn't get a photo did you?


Regards

Greg Clancy
