The pheasant pigeon (Otidiphaps nobilis) is a genus of large terrestrial pigeon found in the primary rainforests of New Guinea and nearby islands. It ranges primarily over hilly and lower mountain areas, but can also be found in lowlands. There are four species, which differ primarily in the presence or absence of a small crest and in the colour of the nape. The two best known are the western nominate (O. nobilis) with a greenish nape and O. aruensis from the Aru Islands with a white nape. The two remaining species, O. cervicalis from the eastern part of its range and O. insularis from Fergusson Island, have a grey nape and a black nape (concolour with the remaining black neck) respectively. Order: Columbiformes, Family: Columbidae.
