Underside of wings grey, with clearly defined dark frame. Black trailing edge of tail fairly broad.
Sound:Song a two-syllable, cooing. Much louder and more accentuated first syllable than in Feral Pigeon. First a short ascending "oooh", immediately followed by a short descending "oohh". Tone quite pure, mostly lacking the rolling quality of Feral Pigeon.
