Pigeon 88 Posted October 25 Sure is dark. Might be melanistic. (Excess pigment) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akiley 975 Posted October 25 (edited) Yes, probably melanistic or some other pigment issue. Greenland subspecies birds are darker brown than American or Western, but that's not really likely here. Odd American is much more likely. Edited October 25 by akiley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
