Noticeably, the bird could be colored grayish-blue on the head, a mix of green and violet by the neck, and a mix of white, gray, and black for the rest of the body. According to the U.S. Geological Survey's website, they can grow up to 11 inches in length, and can become "permanent residents" of their habitat.

The bird, shown in the pictures, was found in the city of Osaka, however the sources indicate that they can be found in other urban areas as well.
Notes:
The side view photo of the rock dove was slightly enhanced, in terms of brightness.
