Default Pigeon ID

Could you please clear up my pigeon dilemma about pigeons.

I know the first picture is a wood pigeon, could you please tell me the correct name for the pigeon in the second photo.
I would of said it that was a Feral Pigeon, but looking in the bird books I have they dont have such a bird. They have Rock Dove and Stock Dove.....

Many thanks.....

The second photo is a Feral Pigeon which are most closely related to Rock Doves.

The only true and pure Rock Doves are on the Islands of Scotland and a few parts of the mainland.
