[Birding-Aus] Diamond Dove/Peaceful Dove hybrids

[Chris Watson]

G'day all!

Really quick one today - does anyone know if these two species often
interbreed in the wild? I'm looking out my office window at a bird on
the bird bath with all of the plumage characteristics of a Peaceful
Dove but with a red eye ring like a Diamond Dove. We get both species
in the yard but this is the first time I've seen this bird.

Cheers,
