Columba livia
I am not sure of the exact species but this lovely bird is living in a group that have a pigeon coup at our local restaurant. Most of the others were a mix of blacks and whites but this one really stood out and seemed to want to pose for me and my camera, until one of his mates ousted him out.

Thanks for your suggestion Ashish, but I am not too sure as the one I photographed had distinctive feathers over its feet and the diamond dove doesn't seem to.
