[cobirds] Re: Collared-Dove ID

I have no experience with the African, but this bird does look a tish less bulky, and also smaller-billed, than I'm used to with Eurasian.  I suppose, as mentioned below, the difference in vocalization would tell the tale, if you get the chance.

COBirders,
Last week I was on Old South Saint Vrain Rd. in Lyons, Boulder County, and encountered a very pale Collared-Dove. I'm curious if people think this is African, a hybrid Eurasian x African or just a very pale or Leucistic Eurasian?
