Las Vegas, Nevada. This bird is larger than the dozens of morning doves I feed in my backyard and considerably meaner. It looks similar to the morning doves but has a collard neck. Don't think it's a pigeon. Any ideas?

Does it look like this? This is an Eurasian collared dove and its about 2 times the size of the morning doves. We have a couple of these hanging around our back area , one is this light collared and the other is a dark gray.

 

Eurasian Collored-Dove?

Thanks for the help everyone, never knew Eurasian collared doves made it to Vegas but looks like they have. Thanks again.

Back in New Zealand We called them Ring Neck Doves
