The wedge-tailed green pigeon, also called the Kokla green pigeon, is greenish yellow with a wedge-shaped tail. The wedge tail is absent in females, because the plumage differs between the sexes, as typical of green pigeons. It ranges across Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Tibet and Vietnam (Wikipedia, general species account).

The Lepcha name for the species is recorded as Kuhu, while the pin-tailed green pigeon is called Sang-pong by the Lepcha people. The account opened gives no size, diet or breeding detail, so none is stated, and the entry is kept short.
