Welcome to Project Noah, jkuropat! This is a great first spotting. I am fairly confident that you have a White-winged Dove here. The white crescent on the wing is diagnostic. If you haven't done so already, it would be a good idea to read through the FAQ page: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq There is no need for you to make an ID suggestion on your own spotting. That area is for other users to make suggestions (as I did). I hope you enjoy it here (as well as your grandchildren)!
