This dove is a little smaller with a shorter tail. It's plumage is a bit more ruddy overall. "It is also distinguished from the Mourning Dove by showing white on the trailing edge of its wings in while in flight. The Mourning Dove does not have the white trailing edge." (Wikipedia. Hadn't noticed that myself.)
The mourning dove is found in north america to central america including the northenmost caribbean islands. The zenaida dove is found throughout the caribbean and the yucatan peninsula. I don't know what interactions the two species have in the narrow bit of overlap between their ranges.
