I reviewed my pics of the RTD and the description in the KG. I agree and I'm now revising this to ISD. Thanks for the comments. It becomes a lifer for me too.

Hi Romy,

This looks like a Island Collared Dove to me based on the very broad dark collar which is much smaller with Red Turtle-Dove. Also the long profile reminding of spotted dove points towards Island Collared. Red Turtle-Dove is much more compact.

Greetings,

Wouter
