Description

This MODO has mottled plumage with colors of white, black, and buff MODO color. I assume it is the offspring of an all white dove and one of the other MODOs from the flock that frequent my yard.

Plumage Variaition On MODO

Unusual plumage on this possible MODO. Assuming it is offspring of an all white dove and MODO from the flock that frequents my yard.

Hi Jennifer, I believe that this dove is actually leucistic. Leucism is the partial loss of pigments in an animal, which results in white, patchy, or pale coloration.
