Default Stock or Feral

Saw this chap on my lawn yesterday looking very sorry for itself.



Is it a Juvenile Stock or just a Feral Pigeon?

You know guys, I thought about covering my bases and including Woodie as a possibility. Typical!!

Thanks!

I've never seen that brown chest before.

Not long out of the nest by the looks of it Peter! Look out for it as it may still be being crop fed by it's Mummy!
