Does it need another vote? Probably not. Anthony & Mark are spot on but we don’t
need me to tell them that. The only thing I’d add is that the juvenal of the Diamond Dove is also heavily barred. The beak
shape also shows it to be a very young bird.

Saw
this dove at Newline this morning. It was about the size of a
peacful dove but the overall appearance didn't seem right. The markings
on the wings were very obvious, as was white down the sides of the
tail.
