Ring-necked Dove

Ring-necked Dove (Streptopelia capicola)

I found this little beauty outside our house and it came out of nowhere. I was lucky enough to grab a few shots before it flew away. We mostly have laughing doves in our area, but never seen any such dove around here. It would be nice if someone can ID it.

One of the Ring-necked/Collared Doves I assume. Certainly leucistic, maybe an escaped captive bird. Gorgeous close-up of this stunner. Exquisite BW!
