The silvery pigeon (Columba argentina), also known as silvery wood-pigeon or grey wood-pigeon is a species of pigeon found in Indonesia and Malaysia. It was thought to be extinct but wild populations rediscovered in 2008 near Masokut Island might represent this species. This species was recorded during the late 19th and early 20th century from offshore islands of the Natuna Sea (west of Borneo) and west of Sumatra, Indonesia, and on the adjacent mainland. Order: Columbiformes, Family: Columbidae, Genus: Columba, Species: Columba argentina Bonaparte, 1855.
