Extensive scaling on rear flanks and vent, looks like a heavy and tame pigeon, long undertail coverts and large wing coverts.. these make me think of ryukyu..

Also, there was a Ryukyu Green Pigeon re ...
I think this Green Pigeon is a Whistling Green Pigeon, Ryukyu subspecies. We have collected some Taiwan and Ryukyu subspecies photos here:

The width of undertail covert fringes seems to be a good way to separate these two subspecies(species) Green Pigeons.
