Hi Sean,
although I’m no expert on South African pigeons, by comparing photos of the pigeon on the goal post and juvenile speckled pigeons, I stand by my opinion that the pigeon on the goal post is a speckled pigeon.

I could not help to link the comical side of the game with the “family Guy” episode when Peter sang “The bird is the word” song. If anyone out there is good at PowerPoint, linking the two on a self-extracting resentation would make amusing watch over here in the UK.
