Carpophaga aenea var. nicobarica von Pelzeln, 1865
Ducula aenea nicobarica
The Nicobar imperial pigeon (Ducula nicobarica) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is endemic to the Nicobar Islands. Its natural habitats are lowland forests, but it also feeds on fruiting trees in agricultural landscapes.[1]
This species was formerly treated as subspecies of the green imperial pigeon (Ducula aenea).[1] It is now considered as a separate species based on the big differences in both plumage and vocalization compared to all other green imperial pigeon subspecies.[2][3]
