Dove. We have a pair of these that visit quite often. I don't know where the other one was yesterday but I only saw this one. They are very skittish. These three pics were taken from about 100 feet or so away. Note the beautiful blue stripe on the back of the neck.
Please help with ID.

Looks like...
a Eurasian Collared-Dove. Yet one more record added to this introduced bird's ever expanding range.
