I know nothing about cameras and settings, sorry. Mourning doves have always been one of my favorite birds. I used to see and hear them calling often down here. For some reason that is no longer the case. But that looks more like a ring necked dove to me.
Hi Dave, beautiful subject and background. Looks like the new lens is doing a great job for you. I think Liz is correct on the id.

Correct Liz
Ring necked Dove
it has been brought to my attention that this is a Eurasian Collard Dove.
Thank you Pat and Liz for the compliments :)
Doves clean out my bird feeders faster the squirrels and chipmunks.
