Sorry about the not so good photo she didn't give me time to focus.
This is the first one of this color I've ever seen, it has a solid hot pink tail wing tips breast and head.
I Google it but nothing on this color. I get a bunch of the beige ones by the feeder, this one is different.
Has anyone seen one of these before>>

    The pink in the tail extends wide to the middle of the back and thinner line upwards to the head, I hope it comes back so I can take a better photo, had my pellet rifle leaning by the door but grabbed the camera instead, I cant find any info on it, I think it's Mutation of some kind.

    Yep, the wings and body have normal color/markings [;)]

    Ha ha, Dan my wife told me there is a red dove by the feeder and I told her cant be there are no red doves and when I saw it my first thought was it fell in a bucket of paint or something.
    seen it is more impressive the photo is not that good.
    I'm really hoping it comes back to take a better pic.

    I agree on the wedding angle. Someone may have bought several, dyed them pink, and then released them at a wedding, birth of a little girl, etc. Given time, and feather replacement, it should return to its natural color.

    I don't think so the uniformity and high iridescence of the pink feathers can only be created by mother nature, definitely not a dye job.

    Yes I've seen dyed baby ducks. I tell you this is no dye job even the legs are much hotter brighter pink than the regular ones.

    When is that Indian (the dot not the feathers) color festival? Or the bird got fragged by paintballers. But the feet looks wet. Did it leave pink prints?
