The guys working the pigeons know what they are doing when it comes to marketing their stuff. This is the Nicobar Pigeon. I got to see one the other day actually at the National Aviary!
The pics you will see of this pigeon do play it up a bit. In the trees it doesn’t get to flash all that iridescence. It does have a beautiful snow white tail hidden under there though, which I thought looked very beautiful in contrast with the dark charcoal feathers of the rest of it. This is the best pic I found of that, and it’s much more representative of what it looks like in person without framing a perfect shot.
