One for the ornithologists

Checking through some 60 fps footage from this morning, I found this fellow crossing my field of view (picture is a composite of 17 successive frames). It might just be a wood pigeon, but the white bars on the wings threw me a bit. Anybody got any other ideas what it is?

Cool composite!

Definitely a wood pigeon I reckon, below is from RSPB Birds of Britain and Europe.

Yep, it is a wood pigeon. The white neck and wing bars are a distinctive feature. I have several of them living in my garden.
