The wedge-tailed green pigeon, or Kokla green pigeon, is a greenish-yellow pigeon with a wedge-shaped tail, found across the Indian subcontinent and South-east Asia, including Tibet. The wedge-shaped tail is absent in females because the species is sexually dimorphic in plumage, as is typical of green pigeons (Wikipedia, general species account).
The Lepcha people record the species under the name 'Kuhu' (Wikipedia, general species account).
