Well, that name would certainly meet the description.
My posted info came from; The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American
Birds (Western Region).
Name; Ringed Turtle Dove (Streptopelia risoria)
The Field Guide's accompanying photo image shows the same dark partial "ring"
as is displayed on my image.
It may be a matter of accepted descriptions in varying locals.(?)
Thanks for your information, Bob.
it seems there are several doves with a similar coloring and neck mark, so
it's not just a matter of local naming; based on location and the red eye,
it should be one of these two:
Streptopelia decaocto is what iBird Pro told me — Eurasian Collared Dove,
and the most widespread candidate:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_collared_dove>
S. risoria, Barbary Dove or Ringneck Dove is not on iBird's list, but
according to various sources it is a domesticated species, and it does look
similar; it is not as widespread as S. decaocto; some people think it was
domesticated from S. decaocto, but most think it came from the African S.

Zenaida macroura, the American mourning dove, is the one i see around my
house, and it is easy to distinguish because it lacks a collar
