Note on Suggestions:
See the yellow eye on the dove with the think pinky outline
female and non-breeding male weavers are notoriously difficult to identify as they can vary even within the same colony.

This may be a ring-necked dove (Streptopelia capicola). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-necked...
