Wallace's fruit dove (Ptilinopus wallacii) is a species of bird in the pigeon family Columbidae. The name commemorates the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Ptilinopus wallacii is a rather large, long-tailed fruit dove and has been described as "one of the most beautiful" fruit doves. The forehead and crown are dull crimson, the lower face and throat are white, and the rest of the head, breast, neck, and upper back are pale bluish-grey. The wings and lower back are green and the belly is orange, separated from the chest by a white band. Endemic to Indonesia, Wallace's fruit dove is found in lowland riverine and coastal forests in the Lesser Sunda Islands, the Moluccas, the Aru Islands, and occasionally in southwestern New Guinea.
