Who belonged to these feathers?

I found these in our garden yesterday.  Something is killing our ground foraging birds, and I fear it is a fox, as only feathers are left.  Could these belong to a juvenile Common Bronzewing, or am I way off the mark?

Thanks Beef and Sean

We do have Crested Pigeons in the garden, thought maybe, but then looked at wikipedia.  The feather certainly looks similar, but the telling bit was that they have to be near water.  I found the feathers near our pond.  Many thanks to you both for your help.
