Spotted Dove(Spilopelia chinensis)- one of many I spotted in Honolulu.
Also known as the Mountain Dove, Lace-necked Dove or Spotted Turtle Dove, they have been cooing in Hawaii since the mid-1800's when they were introduced from Asia .
I have read they exist in New Zealand but they must be avoiding me because I am sure I have never seen any here :)

You spotted a spotted dove and have taken very good photo of him with the shadow. (I think it is a male).

I know them as turtledoves and I hear them cooing every so often in our trees near the lake.

I like to listen to them answering each other, this is a lovely capture.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
It took some studying of the photo to determine that the dove's beak is not shovel-shaped but, rather, that's a curve in the edge of the leaf behind. We have mourning doves here in the northern plains and their soft cooing adds to their character as a pleasant bird, very non-confrontational... although my son, who learned to hunt them in Nebraska, just want to blow them out of the sky and cook 'em up. I'm working on him.
