This is what wild pigeons normally look like. Coincidentally, this is exactly what homing pigeons look like too.
Here is a red one.
I always liked red colored pigeons. When I was fifteen, and raising pigeons, I had one. Dad used to take the homing pigeons off to work with him and let them go from progressively farther away while I waited at home for them to come back. That worked out pretty well. Most of them came back. I think we got as far as 20 miles away, which is actually a pretty simple challenge for a homer. They can find their way home from hundreds of miles away.
A red shouldered hawk, I think.
