Bird Hard 2

Cynical Sceptic
Hi, These photos were sent to me by someone from Nottingham, UK and have me stumped. They wondered if the bird was an escaped Pink Pigeon. Admittedly, it does show a passing resemblance to that species, although I'd think it highly unlikely that this would be the case. Also, in some of the photos the bird shows what appears to be a rather large pale bill, reminiscent of a parrot or something.
Any thoughts as to what this bird is?
