Ringneck dove color and breeding

[Birdgirl1265]

I have an 8 year old white male ringneck dove. I will be acquiring what I think is an Ivory female. Ringnecks are hard to come by in my area so I wasn't focused on color. So my first question is what color is the female I will be acquiring (she got scalped so she is currently on the mend which is why she is being given to me) and my second question is if they did end up breeding what color would their offspring be? I've been trying to understand dove genetics but it's a bit complicated lol. Posting pics of both doves.

I have the same breed of ring neck!
I would think they would be part grey and white if her mate is white?
