Unknown bird at MPNR?

When I first saw this bird flash into the grass at Pond 20 I thought it might be a rail but when I saw it fly again later it looked more like a dove. Could it be an Oriental Turtle Dove? Neil.
MPNR,
Hong Kong,
China.

Yes it is Oriental Turtle Dove - note "turtle-dove" wing patterning, grey rump and lower back and complete white terminal tail band.
