Ringnecks are a light gray with a darker gray around the neck. I would say this one is white. I have a friend that uses pigons to release at weddings and different things. They are white and looks like this one.

Ringneck is a species of dove. White is the color mutation.

Actually I have another question:

When we introduced the two they were making quiet purr-like noises. What does that mean? That they were cautious of each other? They only did it when one would get closer to the other.

ringneck comes in many colours mutations including pied and white, some even have feather mutation such as silkie and crested...

There's a lot of info about them in the net.

Your bird reminds me of the one that I brought home (mentioned in earlier post in this thread.) Ours is a white fan tailed pigeon. My daughter wants to name every white animal we see Snowy, so I finally let her name this guy Snowy. I was told that he is a male because he coos at the other birds and struts around with his chest out.

In this picture he is sitting on a perch that extends out of my husband's Australorp pen. You can see black feathers in the background. That's the Australorps. He would climb the side of the pen and try to get on the perch with them, so my husband fixed this up. They sleep on it inside the pen and he sleeps on the same perch outside the pen.

And here is another where you can see the chickens beside him on the roost.
