Bill isn't orange enough and isn't the right shape, head is the wrong shape, no crest, too dark overall; but mostly, too fat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrydaktell Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 all the feedback is appreciated. so rock pigeon or common ground dove? the barn is over 100' from the camera. the camera zooms a bit when it snaps photos. the bird is likely 30' from the camera. would this be a small bird or a medium sized bird in the photo?

Common Ground Dove. You cant tell by the rusty orange/red primary wing feathers along with the bicolored bill. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you zoom in on the pic you can see the pink bill(a trait of the dark lored Ssp.). Also you can see a black crown stripe and a tiny bit of white on top. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
