No responses about the call yet, but it has been suggested that Barbary Doves 
are sometimes called Laughing Doves.  These look different in Pizzey & Knight, 
but I do have a recording of that call and it could be a candidate.  I also 
found a recording for a Eurasian Collared-Dove, which at least looks similar.  
Quite a different call, but could also be a candidate:

I guess the next step is to find out if it's caged.  If I don't hear it again 
tomorrow, then I suppose it was wild.  If I do hear it, then it could be wild 
and hanging around the same area.  And I could always knock on the door and ask.

Can anyone tell me where I could find a recording of a Barbary Dove online?  It 
isn't on the BOCA CDs.

I heard an unusual dove call near Westona station this morning, and considering 
how close this is to the population at Maddox Rd in Williamstown (2.5km to the 
east), I thought I should check it out.  It could be a captive bird, but I 
haven't heard it there before.

It sounded a bit like a Spotted Dove, but higher pitched, although I couldn't 
hear it properly over a nearby airconditioner.
