The Ruddy Quail-dove is a medium-sized bird, with a distinctive ruddy-brown coloration covering its body, head, and neck. Its plumage is adorned with intricate patterns of black and white spots, creating a stunning visual display. The bird's bill is short and curved, and its legs and feet are a pale pink color.
