Had a look at HANZAB and birds of palearctic but the results are confusing .
Male      Australia     nominate 
weight  600g            670g
tarsus  42.8mm          46.7mm
toe             46mm            47.5mm

Female
weight  825g            1100g
tarsus  48mm            53mm
toe             52mm            53mm

Do not know if this helps the argument . Australian does have relative longer 
toe, would that help with birds and lot of feather depth. In UK, natural 
occurring Wood Pigeons hav a massive feather depth, not sure about “rock” dove 
. Galahs seem to have thick feathers but not sure. 
Helpful?
