Zenaida asiatica
Photo take in a expedition deep in the jungle this pigeon flay around the camp all morning, medium size look like common but i don see a dark mark around the neck. They are brownish-gray above and gray below, with a bold white wing patch that appears as a brilliant white crescent in flight and is also visible at rest. Adults have a patch of blue, featherless skin around each eye and a long, dark mark on the lower face.
Found from the south-western USA through Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean Sea . In recent years with increasing urbanization and backyard feeding, it has expanded throughout Texas and into Louisiana. It has also been introduced to Florida.
