Punai Tanah - Green-winged Pigeon, Emerald Dove

I found my lifer at the access road to one Durian Orchard here in Raub.
This Punai Tanah forage alone on the road, feeding on fallen fruits. Unlike the Spotted and Zebra Dove, this bird is very shy and I have to squatted low and approach slowly for this shot.
