Dean, I'm not sure how to answer your question. To me, all wild birds have a taste all their own. Doves are a mild, tender, tasty morsel if not over cooked. If I had to compare I guess I might equate them to chukar. Pigeon is very close but a bit stronger in my opinion. However, an old pigeon is like chewing on a tennis ball and unfit for human consumption. I have never encountered that with doves.
So there, now you know as much as you did before. You need to try them. I don't think you will be disappointed.
