I am in Samford Qld.
I was out taking photos when out of the bush flew this beautiful pink dove, right onto the powerline.
Unfortunately I was only able to get this 1 pic before it flew off.
I had a look in my guide but couldn't find an exact match.
I thought at first, because of its crown, that it was a juv rose crown fruit dove but it just doesn't have the colours.
Please help me identify it.
Cheers

Looks like a Common Bronzewing.

Rawshorty was right, a common Bronzewing.
Common bronzewing for me too
Is it a female or Juv as it doesn't seem to have the colours in the wings or the colour on the foreehead?
Looks like a male to me. The sun is shinning on the front of the bird so it is a little blown out and you can't see the colour on the wings as they don't have the sun on them.
