G'day Hugo

I've reported it to my NRE colleague - hopefully he will be responsive.

My research this morning has cast doubt on the identification of the dove.  The
Alice Springs population are referred to as Barbary Doves (Streptopelia risoria)
not Eurasian Collared Doves (Streptopelia decaocto).  The Barbary Dove is
considered to be a domesticated form of the African Collared Dove (Streptopelia
roseogrisea).  So, I'm not sure what to call my bird on an atlas sheet.  Can
anyone give me some identification pointers?

Cheers

Steve
