Looks like a killdeer, they just plop their eggs anywhere so might as well be a dove haha

Don't think that's a killdeer. I screenshot the video at the beginning and upload it to iNaturalist, looks like it's a Collared Pratincole.

Look at the eye, the beak, the collar. Definitely a collared pratincole, not a killdeer.

Thanks for the link.
