Sclater's crowned pigeon (Goura sclaterii) honours the English ornithologist Philip Sclater, and was named by Italian zoologist Tommaso Salvadori in 1876. A large, terrestrial pigeon confined to the southern lowland forests of New Guinea, male and female have a similar appearance – a bluish-grey plumage with elaborate blue lacy crests, red iris and very deep maroon breast.
