The Ecuadorian ground dove (Columbina buckleyi) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found in Ecuador and Peru.
Taxonomy and systematics
The Ecuadorian ground dove and three other species were for a time placed in genus Columbigallina, which was later merged into Columbina. It was also formerly treated as a subspecies of ruddy ground dove (C. talpacoti) and forms a superspecies with it now.
The Ecuadorian ground dove has two subspecies, the nominate C. b. buckleyi and C. b. dorsti.
