    Dove pair w/white necklace?

    Please / thanks:  Have a bird feeder in my Issaquah, Washington (near Seattle) backyard; this morning a pair of what I would call doves (about 2-3x larger than the bluejays that come around) flew in; grays; each have a small white necklace; any ideas who's visiting today?  Appreciate.

    Is there anyway you could get a picture?  The only doves I could find with anything resembling a white necklace were the spotted doves but they don't occur in Washington.  Does the white go all the way around its neck?

    Perhaps Eurasian Collared Dove or Band-tailed Pigeon.

    Looked on-line at a picture of the Band-tailed Pigeon, and that seems to be what I saw.  Thanks!
