White-tipped doves and white-winged doves are two distinct species of doves that have similar appearances but can be differentiated by their physical characteristics and behaviors. White-tipped doves (Leptotila verreauxi) are typically larger than white-winged doves (Zenaida asiatica), with longer tails and broader wings. White-tipped doves have a distinctive white band at the tip of their tail, while white-winged doves have a white patch on their wings. White-tipped doves also have a more melodious song than white-winged doves, which have a more guttural call.
White-tipped doves are found in a variety of habitats, including forests, woodlands, and grasslands, while white-winged doves prefer more open areas, such as fields and parks. Both species are found in the Americas, with white-tipped doves ranging from Mexico to Argentina and white-winged doves ranging from the southern United States to Argentina.
