Observation details

my first encounter with the bird was simply walking by it early in the morning it abruptly flew off and i instantly noticed the different flight noise. i thought wow that was different i hope it comes back. a couple days later i am doing chores (feeding chickens) and this bird lands 4 ft from me (no camera of course). i instantly noticed the different flight noise and noticed this bird did not look like a normal dove. we both stared at each other in amazement i guess, and it took off confirming the different flight noise and a rusty orangeish underside to its wings. i googled it like crazy and came up with Inca Dove?!?. couple of days went by and i am sitting in my house and its feeding by the bird feeders. i took pictures this time and asked a fb group missouri birders if it really was a Inca Dove and yes it really is.
