Vol. 129, (September) 2009.
LEE, M. T., DONG, D. L. & ONG, T. P. A photographic record of Silvery Pigeon Columba argentina from the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia, with notes on identification, distribution and conservation

and Birding Asia 11 (August 2009)

state that the

Silvery Wood Pigeon (Columba argentina) might have been rediscovered.

This would be a sensation if this would be really the case

Unfortunately i am not able to get these two articles.

I don't have the article either, but the "other channel" has a thread on the matter, including the original pictures used to make this claim, follow this link:
