Streptopelia decaocto
The eurasian collared dove is native to Europe and Asia. In North America it has become an invasive species after it was introduced to the Bahamas in the 70s.
Commonly found around cities.
This is possibly a juvenile as its collar was less developed. Further down in my album there is a series of the same species in a mating game.
