Turtle and Collared Dove flight styles (1 Viewer)

Hello,

Might seem a silly question but can anyone say for certain whether or not Collared Doves Streptopelia decaocto ever fly with the pronounced side-to-side tilt shown sometimes by Turtle Doves Streptopelia turtur?

Thanks!
 
From what I've heard, their flight is apparently more pigeon like than other doves. My guess is that the Turtle Doves flight is like a Mourning Doves, zig zagging with the wings being swept back on each stroke?
