Eurasian Collared Dove?
I originally thought this is an Eurasian Collared Dove. But when I checked The Birds of Hong Kong and South China, it looks very close to the female Red Turtle Dove. Please kindly confirm.

What was the size of the dove? it helps a lot to differentiate the two.
Bigger than Spotted Dove: Eurasian Collared Dove
Smaller than Spotted Dove: Red Turtle Dove

When comparing with the size of the street lamp it is standing on, I would also incline to think that it is an Eurasian Collared Dove. But are there any other points you have looked at? Do you mind to share? Thanks for the response anyway.
