The hill pigeon or eastern rock dove or Turkestan hill dove (Columba rupestris) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. The hill pigeon is a stout bodied pigeon, very similar in size and general appearance to the rock pigeon, but mainly differentiated by its tail pattern which consist of a broad white tail-band across the black tail. Other differences include a paler mantle and upper wings and a white patch on the back. In flight, the tail pattern is similar to the snow pigeon, but lacks the contrast between the head and neck in that species. Order: Columbiformes, Family: Columbidae, Genus: Columba, Species: Columba rupestris Pallas, 1811.
