I have been asked for more information and pictures
on these doves. Apologies for the quality of the pictures,
they are taken off a video camera. Both birds have pink legs and a yellow
iris. Some white shows at the ends of the outer tail feathers
when they fly. The dark face, throat and upper breast is distinct in both
birds. At times, this dark area can have a slight dark blue tinge to
it. The rest of the plumage is as shown in the photos, fairly drab with no
noticeable areas of sheen or spots and a white belly. They did not
call.
