I am told this is a this is a Rock Dove which is the name for a pigeon in Audubon's book on Birds of North America. I must say I have never seen one of this color before. In Audubon's book it mentions that pigeon are the typcal gray that we are accustomed to seeing, but they can also be white, rust colored or black. I took this to day in a Sam's Club Parking lot. It really caught my eye. There were several black one's there as well. I think there was some kind of courtship in progress because of the fluffy wings and one black pigeon was trying to keep the others away.
