Why was it not a Eurasian Collared Dove? (Just checking).

Hello, All,
while visiting the discovery center 4/14 at Murfreesboro Springs, I saw several
Mourning Doves, and then, while walking the boardwalk, a bird that looked like
a mourning dove, except it was paler, in flight had a squared-off tail with a
lot of white at the end and sides, and maybe some white on the wings. I wasn't
thinking white-winged dove, I was thinking, gosh, that mourning dove looks pale
and has a lot of white on it. And the tail is squared off. When I looked at
it through the mounted binocular 'scope on the boardwalk, (no binos with me) I
again thought, that looks like a mourning dove, but something's not right about
it. It had the little mustache/auricular patch and nothing to suggest rock
dove.
If anyone sees the bird again, please let me know what I saw. :)
thanks!
