Good catch on the error in Sibleys. The more I look at this bird side by side with a Collared Dove, the more I think it's a leucistic Collard Dove. At any rate, it now has a mate and has discovered the grain out back. It was first feeding under a feeder in the front yard with a pair of Eurasians. Maybe the male dumped his mate for this trophy chick. :-)

Another shot in the sunlight.
