juvenile Dove

Still in Darwin so I think that this is a juvenile Diamond Dove as nothing else seems to have that wing pattern. The colours are truer in the first picture. Working with limited resources as only my Morcombe app on my phone which has no image for a juvenile Bar-Shouldered Dove. Could someone please identify it? thanks Sue

I have a photo of a Peaceful Dove, have a look. For a Dove they are tiny, the juveniles are more brown. (that's what my books tell me)

I'm with Lorne on this, juv. Peaceful Dove.

That 'mascara' line trailing from the back of the eye is the giveaway, I reckon. LJ
