Blending in (Geopelia humeralis)

The perfect habitat for this Bar-shouldered Dove as the ground colours seem to match his.

Had one of those days.... had to go and do my grocery shopping twice when once is bad enough!! I was in the queue for the till when all the power went off. We were sent home foodless! That was 11.30 am... eventually they got back on the grid about 4.30, so decided to go return this evening rather than join the crowds on Saturday!

Terrific low level side view of this handsome dove. In the setting it sure is cryptic. Excellent focus, colors, and detail. TFS D!
