I think your Dove may have lost the tail feathers that  would normally cover 
the white tipped ones that are showing. Maybe a close call with a predator!?

  This afternoon, I spotted a Mourning Dove with white tail feathers among the 
75 or so that were feeding in my yard.  Is this unusual?  I don't remember 
noticing another dove with this characteristic.
