Adult males have mainly olive-brown upperpart plumage, with black spots on the wings. The head has a grey crown, black line behind the eye, and the blue-black on the lower ear coverts.

Our most common dove is all grey with a black stripe on its neck https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/2969-Streptopelia-decaocto and lives commonly in towns and villages. The other one that lives in the Czech Republic is much prettier but shy and rarer https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/2938-Streptopelia-turtur
