The Eared Dove, tórtola Torcaza, is a New World tropical dove. It is a resident breeder throughout South America from Colombia to southern Argentina and Chile, and on the offshore islands from the Grenadines southwards. It may be a relatively recent colonist of Tobago and Trinidad. It appears to be partially migratory, but details are little known, although migration may be driven by food supplies.
The Eared Dove is common to abundant in savannahs and other open areas, including cultivation, and it readily adapts to human habitation, being seen on wires and telephone posts near towns in Trinidad and Venezuela, almost in all public spaces of large urban areas such as Bogotá, Colombia and feeding near beach resorts in Tobago.

Bellos colores y magníficos detalles los de esta pequeña tórtola.

Hola Ferran
Efectivamente es una torcaza (Zenaida auriculata) una paloma muy común en la región pampeana, según dicen prospera mucho gracias a los cultivos y a las oportunidades que brinda el entorno humano. En cuanto a la foto me gusta la luz pero no la veo demasiado nítida, sin embargo es muy útil para la identificación.
Saludos
Hernán
