Resin: I've also always called them Collared Doves. In fact I used to breed them when I lived in PA. However th older USA books(ie. Peterson's '80 ed and The Golden Book ID '83 ed ) the names Collared and Ringed Turtle Dove are used interchangably, probably because they are both nonnative species, considered to be domestic escapees. Both books show a drawing of the Collared Dove, calling it a Ringed Turtle Dove. Do you happen to know if and when the mislabelling was corrected?
