ive never seen a feral pigeon with that kind of color before. Beautiful markings
 
Feral pigeon

It's been dyed, possibly for identification. Looks more like a stray fancy pigeon than a conventional feral bird. Look at that beak.
 
homing pigeon type of beak. but even without the dye has beautiful markings
 
A neighbor in my old Los Angeles neighborhood, had an entire flock of pigeons with similar pink markings. As they were perched on a telephone wire I was astounded by their vivid pink feathers and called my wife and two sons out to see them, at least a dozen. Is it a dye or some color pigmentation? Those had much more pink coloration than the individual shown here. They didn't appear dyed.
