A pigeon with white, reddish-brown, and iridescent grey-green feathers, facing left
Detailed Description
A single pigeon is depicted in detail, positioned centrally and facing left. The bird's body is predominantly white, with individual feathers meticulously outlined in thin black lines, creating a textured appearance. A prominent patch of reddish-brown feathers covers the upper back and parts of the wings, with additional smaller, scattered brown spots visible on the lower back. The pigeon's head and neck exhibit a blend of light grey, pale pink, and iridescent green hues, with a subtle sheen. Its small eye is barely discernible, appearing closed. A short, light-colored beak extends from the head. Two pinkish-purple feet, each with three forward-facing white claws and one backward-facing, are visible beneath the bird's body, tucked slightly forward. The tail feathers, also white with black outlines, extend horizontally to the right. The pigeon is depicted against a plain, light tan background, without any additional environmental elements.
