Abstract

We present the first documented record of the White-winged Dove (Zenaida asiatica) in South America. An adult bird was observed and photographed in the University of Magdalena campus in Santa Marta, department of Magdalena, Colombia. The closest record for this species is from ca. 730 km to the southwest, in Panama. Our record indicates that this species should be considered accidental rather than hypothetical on the South American Caribbean coast.
