It’s bill looks a bit deformed but I think it’s a juvenile Woodpigeon!

Hi Bill and Jacqueline and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

I agree with Wood Pigeon, though he does look rather odd, doesn't he.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

I dont think that's it doesn't match the pic is not the best but had rustic brown body with grey head not like a juvenile Woodpigeon the odd thing was the bill didn't look deformed looked very strait perfect more like a seagull bill im no expert on deformitys

Nope colour not right looks completely different

On looking at juvenile Woodpigeons again i do see some similarities so very possible it was the beak that completly threw me of as looked natural and colour of the bird seemed odd to

Welcome to Birdforum. That's an unusual young wood pigeon.
