Patagioenas cayennensis
Its a large pigeon found in the tropical American.
The Pale-vented Pigeon is common at forest edges, riverbanks, and other partially open areas with some trees. It feeds mainly on small fruits, berries and seed. This is a fairly solitary bird, but may form small flocks at drinking areas.
Doves(?) having fun under the rain this afternoon.
Now I know its not a dove, but a pigeon.
It's a Pigeon of the genus Patagioenas, it's extremely hard to tell from these photos since the birds aren't portraying typical plumage, but I highly suspect Pale-vented Pigeon, Patagioenas cayennensis, based on the seemingly light-colored underparts.
