G'day all!

Really quick one today - does anyone know if these two species often interbreed in the wild? I'm looking out my office window at a bird on the bird bath with all of the plumage characteristics of a Peaceful Dove but with a red eye ring like a Diamond Dove. We get both species in the yard but this is the first time I've seen this bird.

Cheers,
