				Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto)
			Adult at Sapphire Bay Condominiums, St. John Bay, St. Thomas, 26 December. Photo © by Floyd Hayes. First record for the U.S. Virgin Islands. Note the dark primaries and grey edges to upper portion of outer web on outermost rectrix, which distinguish it from a Ringed Turtle-Dove (S. risoria), which has paler primaries and white outer web of outermost rectrix. The undertail coverts of this individual were distinctly grey; in Ringed Turtle-Dove they are white.
