This species is typically 73 to 75 cm (29 to 30 in) long. In the western species, the crown is more scraggly and hair-like, the chest is a uniform blue-gray and not maroon and there is a less distinct wing-bar. The other two crowned pigeons are somewhat superficially similar but only the western crowned pigeon overlaps in range with the Victoria species. As in all crowned pigeons, melanism has been observed. On the wing coverts, there is a row of feathers that are a paler blue-gray with maroon tips. Its feather crest (the signature feature of crowned pigeons other than their size) is conspicuously white-tipped. The Victoria crowned pigeon is a deep blue-gray color with a small black mask. The bird may be easily recognized by the unique white tips on its crests and by its deep 'whooping' sounds made while calling. Its name commemorates the British monarch Queen Victoria. It is part of a genus of three unique very large, ground-dwelling pigeons native to the New Guinea region. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.The Victoria crowned pigeon ( Goura victoria) is a large, bluish-grey pigeon with elegant blue lace-like crests, maroon breast and red iris. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file.
