Looks like a mourning dove...but the black band on the tail is unusual... any suggestions?
thank u Liam..:)
Shadows and angles, poses and postures - every birder is tripped by them once in a while. :)I agree with Mourning Dove.
Not stupid, just noticing all the details :) That's what makes a good identifier; noticing everything and making sure it all matches up before putting down an ID. Glad to help :)
thank u Ashley...now, I realized it...its stupid on my part....
I believe the black band on the tail is a shadow from a branch :)
