LARGE, mostly slate gray on the upper body and back, a buff color breast and under body, white patch on the bottom tail feathers, with a band of white & black behind the head, and a large yellow bill.
If it wasn't so large, I would say it was some kind of pigeon or dove, but I don't know of any Giant Sized pigeons
Area: northern california, sonoma county
