The chestnut-bellied imperial pigeon (Ducula brenchleyi) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is endemic to the southern Solomon Islands.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, predominantly at elevations of 200-700 meters—though is now confined to higher elevations in many regions due to deforestation.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss.
It feeds primarily on banyan figs.[2]
