As far as we know, there are two familiar species of wild doves, they are not completely white in our areas:
1) White-wing doves
- the doves have brown body, but their wings have white patches. We may see these dove in the city parks.
2) Eurasian collared dove
- These doves are a quite common in our areas. They are found in many places include yards and feeders The doves have more white patches.

If we see white doves in a neighborhood, it is usually domesticated doves. They are bred for their color (white color).

Domesticated doves are own either by pet owners or companies. There are companies to provide service for white doves' in our area.

Domesticated white doves are released for special events such as student graduations, weddings and funerals.

In our case (Fig 01 and Fig 07), appears to be a white dove do not see a band on its ankle if it has a band, it’s probably belonging to someone’s aviary otherwise it could be wild.

Lovely photos! That's a lucky sighting - white doves are uncommon in the wild. It reminds me of a recent sighting of an unusual white variant of a rock pigeon I saw.
