Observation details

Continuing MEGA! Seen in the normal area along the coastal section of Golden Orb Trail. It was eating on the path just to the west of the ribbons when we arrived at 2:52 PM. The confiding dove then walked toward us until it was filling the frame but I didn't want to back up and risk scaring it. Similar to Mourning Dove but had diagnostic white patch on secondaries, darker brown, shorter tail, and small purple patch on side of its neck.
