Default Not the Friendliest Home Town at my Bird Feeder this AM

I am really upset. I love sitting on my lanai and watching the many birds that visit my birdfeeder (I live in a courtyard villa).
I just went out to my lanai to read the paper and drink my coffee and there was a fairly large bird on the ground with grey feathers all around him. He had attacked one of the doves that frequents the feeder. When I walked out on the lanai he flew away and is now on a wall several doors down from me devouring it.

I don't know what kind of bird it is. It is about the size of a large crow but is not black. It has brown feathers with a beige chest and feet. I googled to see if crows are colors other than black but such is not the case. There are now several birds making loud noises diving down trying to attack him!

Any ideas? I don't want him to come back
