I voted to accept this one on the strength of the accompanying report's details about the bird's dark undertail area - a critical feature for EUCD identification. Regretably missing in the report was information competing this candidate with Ringed Turtle-Dove, something that should be included in all Idaho EUCD reports.

Description adequate for species well established and expanding on the region. I don't see a need to eliminate Ringed Turtle-Dove with this knowledge,in fact I'm wondering why we are still reviewing records of the species from s. Idaho.
