Is this a Mourning Dove?

Lincoln, NE(Zone 5b)

Hello All,

I've seen hundreds in my lifetime, but never one with this many colorations and spots. could this be a cross between a Mourning Dove and a Spotted?
Or do I need a new perscription for my glasses?

I have seen MD fledglings here many times...and never seen the "speckled" feathers on the neck area and down toward the breast.

Mourning Dove...the Spotted is mostly in California (introduced from Asia).
