Elbino Dove?

[Marinus]

Hello Fellow Birders,

Today I saw this pure white dove outside the window at work and I was wondering if someone could help me id this bird. I'm not sure what exactly it is. Thanks.

Marinus, that's a Rock Pigeon in it's white form. Usually they're gray or a darker colour (they can vary) but once in a while there will be a complete white one like you see there.

I dont think it's an albino bird although Im sure it's very possible among this species.
