Is there a possibility of reinstating the Barbary Dove taxon in the form of a variety? Such as that of the domestic Mallard?

The reason for performing this action is because no North American African-Collared Dove are actually wild types but are all domesticated Barbary Doves and they look quite different than normal African Collared-Dove. Here's a short list of different types you can get.
