This is a mystery bird at the San Diego Zoo. I followed it around and took some pictures, but I never IDed it off one of the signs. Perhaps someone in comments can help us?
UPDATE: It's a Tambourine Dove. Thanks, Steve!

That's a Tambourine Dove. Fairly common in sub-Saharan Africa, but tends to stay within thick woodland vegetation, so easily overlooked.

WP comments take so long to post that when the text remains in the box, but it appears under just "Leave a Reply," rather than the name of the individual to whom the comment is directed, I now realize that THIS is the (bad) reason that comments may appear in the wrong place. Timing is everything, it appears. But what accounts for not seeing a comment posted, with the text remaining in the box, then seeing the message that I've "already said that" after I click on "post comment"
Had tried to delete orange text when it still showed, but not as a reply to another comment. Never thought I would miss Coral.
