Dear All:
How are you? Hope you're doing well. I need help please with id'ing a bird that I spotted while on a stroll through Little Havana. It had:
A size significantly smaller than Mourning Doves.
Rufous wing tips
Orange legs and eye ring
Light grey head
Dark grey back
White belly
White rump
Black beak
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Also, many thanks to my better half and sons for running my camera out to me when I spotted the bird.

Hello:
This is a Diamond Dove, a species native to the interior of Australia. They are very common in aviculture.

Thanks, Carlos. Chalk that one up for my Little Havana bird list along with the aqua-colored pigeon we saw a couple of months ago!
PS: Our unofficial bird list that is.
