Eurasian Collared-Dove - 10-27-2011 Presidents Island odd wing color.jpg

I have seen this bird in the same area, flying in and out over the past month. The primaries and greater coverts are solid gray, giving it a really strange look in the air. The feathering does not look soiled and the color extends only to the greater coverts which would normally be pale.
