Wikipedia stated that "This species was first discovered new to science by Otto Finsch who found a live bird received from the dealer C. Scheepmaker in Amsterdam Zoo and named it after him." Yet, the article is for the Southern Crowned Pigeon.

Another photo of this gorgeous pigeon. Wouldn't it be great if these birds were the ones flying around our cities and sitting on our statues?
