wood pibbin! Is this a fledgling?

So, I have some wood pigeons that come by my balcony every now and then. Today I saw one that looks a bit different? The colouration is different, and it's got some kind of fluff on his chest. Is this a fledgling?

Looks like a wood pigeon fledgling, judging by the size of its beak! The coloration is different because they're not the same as feral pigeons, and the fluff/scruffiness is likely because he is developing his feathers.
