We saw this mourning dove at our feeder this evening and were wondering if it is leucistic or possibly a Mourning Dove hybrid.

We look forward to your thoughts.

Likely a leucistic mourning dove.

Excellent.  We weren't sure what it was.

Thanks for clearing it up.

agreed, structure seems fine for a "normal" mourning dove...just funny colouration
