San Diego should have Squatter Pigeon and Green Imperial Pigeon. Both are new species to the list I think.
 
Maybe you should use scientific names as well - these are both common names for S. dusumieri, but I don't know if San Diego uses the names for some other Streptopelia instead.

SDZ keeps S. dusumieri. The only other Philippine pigeon I know they have are Black-Chinned Fruit-Dove and the Philippine ssp of Metallic Pigeon.

Omaha had Luzon Bleeding Heart Dove at the end of 2018. They also had Imperial Pigeon but I don't know which species, I have a photo of the sign.

National Aquarium in Baltimore has Crested Pigeon Ocyphaps lophotes.

Philly has White-throated Ground Dove Gallicolumba xanthonura and Nicobar.

Virginia Zoo has Pied-imperial pigeon, bleeding heart dove, and nicobar.
 
Maybe you should use scientific names as well - these are both common names for S. dusumieri, but I don't know if San Diego uses the names for some other Streptopelia instead.
I considered it but didn't think it was needed - clearly I was wrong. :p
 
Malagasy turtle dove at Sylvan Heights. Crested quail-dove at Miller Park. Buttonwood lists Peruvian pigeon on their website, which says that three unspecified AZA zoos hold the species.

Buttonwood keeps Peruvian and Bare-Eyed. San Antonio keeps Peruvian also. Cincinnati at least used to keep Peruvian, but I don't know if they still do.

I'm pretty sure San Diegos bleeding-hearts are bartletii as well, or at least they used to be. I'd be interesting to find out exactly what the US population consists of exactly and if they're managed separately since bartletii is though to be EW.

Green Imperial-Pigeon and Chestnut-Naped Imperial-Pigeon are the same species and the latter is ssp. paulina.

Minnesota has Black-naped, Wompoo, and Marianas Fruit Dove and Luzon Bleeding-heart Dove.

Toledo has White-throated Ground-dove for sure, and in the recent past I've seen Croaking ground-dove, Crested quail-dove, Namaqua Dove, Marianas Fruit Dove, Mauritius Pink Pigeon, and Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse there. No idea whether all are still present though because Toledo rotates its aviary display species frequently.
 
Busch Gardens Williamsburg lists Green imperial-pigeon and Rock dove on their website
Wild-type Rock Dove?

If you know any of those species have been kept since 2018 I'll add them.
 
As far as I know all of the Green Imperial-Pigeons in the US are the Chestnut-Naped ssp, though this can be easily proven/disproven with photos.

Ring-necked Dove: Barbary Doves are a domestic form of African Collared Dove, but I see you have that species listed separately. If you're counting the domestic form here, there are several zoos keeping it as an educational animal, including: Beardsley, Saint Louis, Scovill, Bronx, Saginaw Children's, Cosley, Orange County, Toledo, Lake Superior... There is no "wild" ring-necked dove, as those would be African Collared Dove.

Mourning Dove (9 holders)

The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens

This is the name of the facility in New Mexico; I'm not sure if that facility has Mourning Dove or not, but the similarly-named facility in California (just called The Living Desert) has Mourning Dove.
