| Resumo: | We observed two cases of leucism in the Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) in two localities of Northern Mexico. Both individuals were the first leucistic records for this species in Nuevo Leon and Durango states. The two specimens had most of the body with white plumage, pinkish legs, and grayish beak (compared to normal individuals), but maintained the characteristic color in the eyes; and were observed only once and as solitary individuals. |
