Judging by the coloration of the wings and the overall size, I'd guess it's a mourning dove.
Good call, Mary, although I'm not sure what you're using to determine size here. The spots on the wings and the white tips to the outer tail feathers are also good clues, as is the apparent shape of the tail.
