I visited a bird enclosure close to where I live in Australia. The enclosure had several different species. The birds that stood out most were these doves sitting right along the fence railing, making a deep "Wo-wo-wo-woo" sound. That and also I thought they looked and sounded similar to Spotted Doves.

Does anyone know what the species of this birds may be?

More information can be found here and here. The second pages shows also images of different color variations.

  • $\begingroup$ I accepted @agha rehan abbas before, but only because I didn't see your answer. The Barbary Dove seems to have a white and brown wing tip, while the Collared Dove has solid colour for it's wingtip. The one I saw has the same type of pattern on it's wingtip. $\endgroup$
