Red Collared Dove

The red collared dove, or red turtle dove, is a small pigeon, a resident breeding bird in the tropics of Asia. It is 20.5 to 23cm long and weighs about 104g. The male has a blue-grey head and a red-brown body with a black ring round the neck. The female is much plainer, pale brown like the larger Eurasian collared dove (Wikipedia, general species account).

There is a summer migration into broader cultivated valleys of Afghanistan, where it breeds, and birds arriving in small flocks soon split up to form pairs. The account opened gives no diet, nest or habitat details, nor anything specific to Bhutan, so none are stated.
