There are no similar species in the Caribbean portion of its range. Aberrant white individuals of other pigeon species lack the black tail and wings seen in Pied Imperial-Pigeon. The song has a very low pitch and includes a "wuu-uu-wuuuu", with the last syllable falling; strong at first and then disappears.
