Hey there, if you saw this in the city, it is most likely a Spotted Dove (http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Streptopelia-chinensis), however, it doesn't seem to have the special black and white spots on the neck, so it could be Peaceful Dove as suggested below.

Hi there. It might be a Peaceful Dove (scientific name is Geopelia striata) but I'm not absolutely certain. Have a look at this website http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Geopelia-striata and maybe Google some pictures of Peaceful Doves and see if you think it's the right one. : )
