A couple of years ago on the Triadelphia CBC we had what we thought was a E. Collared Dove on the count (I found it myself!). The details were sketchy though and the bird disappeared before we could get thorough documentation. A small group of us went back the following day but didn't find it. At my first opportunity a couple of weeks later, I went back out and re-discoverd the bird, only to find it was a Ringed Turtle Dove! So do be careful and get good documentation on this one.
