English term or phrase: Cushat dove

From Little Red Riding Hood:
"she sang so sweetly that a **Cushat dove** flew down from a tree and followed her".
I found "pigeon" as a translation but isn't there a more poetic translation?
Thank you

une colombe ou une tourterelle sont sans doute les solutions les plus poétiques
