Unknown bird at MPNR?

When I first saw this bird flash into the grass at Pond 20 I thought it might be a rail but when I saw it fly again later it looked more like a dove. Could it be an Oriental Turtle Dove? Neil. MPNR, Hong Kong, China. Nikon D2x plus Nikon 300/2.8 AFS and 1.4x tele

Yes it is Oriental Turtle Dove - note "turtle-dove" wing patterning, grey rump and lower back and complete white terminal tail band. Mike Turnbul
