Unknown pigeon-like bird ID pls?

Hi all

This bird landed in my boss' office just next to Macritchie Reservoir half an hour ago. Think it was having diarrhoea, cos it left a small mess (can see one of the pics has a wet spot under its ***.

Appreciate ID for this beauty.

Wet butt...

Dear Friend,
I believe this is a wood pigeon. But can't remember the scientific name. It is common in Singapore and South East Asia.

Cheers

This is a male Emerald Dove. Not many of them around nowadays.
