Adult female. The dark bill, the unmottled head and chest and the black wing spots separate this from Common Ground-Dove (Columbina passerina) and Plain-breasted Ground-Dove (Columbina minuta).

Adult female. Pretty common in the area, but so is Common Ground-Dove too.

Adult female with juvenile to the right? See 1091 for better comparison. The young birds seems more fluffy and has a brighter base to the bill which I like for a juvenile. But the wing spots are brownish rather than black, which could turn in direction of Common Ground-Dove. But the two species normally stay with their own, I guess?
