[cobirds] Unusual Dove? Arapahoe County

I happened upon this dove yesterday and wanted to share it with others. I have a couple ideas what it is but wanted to see what other more experienced birders thought it might be. Is it a Leucistic Eurasian Collared-Dove or is this a Ringed-Turtle-Dove? If so is it an escapee or will it be like the Eurasian Collared-Dove spreading throughout the U.S. The 2 doves pictured were exhibiting what I thought might be nesting behavior.
