Photographed at the Dutch Parrot Refuge (N.O.P.) at Veldhoven.
Free-flying in the tropical hall - Obviously a columbiform, but any more precise suggestions?

The bird appears to be a juvenile to me(?) , perhaps one of the Bronze-wing species?

I think you might be onto something here - it could be a juvenile Crested Quail Dove (Geotrygon versicolor) which is described as "upperparts olive-brown with reddish fringes"

Yes , maybe , I guess it depends alot on size aswell , its hard to judge its size.

Agree that it looks like a recently fledged Bronzewing
