The female is similar with a more purplish sheen to the crown and nape and bronzer-tinged barring on the belly. The bill is black and the feet are black with yellow undersides

One of the banes of my existence. Sits on the power line outside our house and calls all day long all summer long. Good thing I don't shoot native wildlife (just feral rabbits).
