    Please identify - Pidgeon like, but black as Raven

    This was seen in the California Mojave desert near Death Valley. The camera slightly overexposed. The feathers were black as a Raven.  Talons look a bit husky for a pidgeon.

    It is a pigeon, as in Rock Dove.  Black is just one of the many color phases of the bird.
