could be translated pigeon. But "pigeon" has negative connotations and shades of meaning. "Dove" on the other hand has rather pleasent connotations.

Rock Dove or Rock Pigeon
Rock pigeon or rock dove
The Rock Pigeon has a restricted natural resident range in western and southern Europe, North Africa, and into South Asia. Its habitat is natural cliffs, usually on coasts.
Pigeons and dove both belong to the same family Columbidae within the order order Columbiformes, which include some 300 species.
In ornithological practice, there is a tendency for "dove" to be used for smaller species and "pigeon" for larger ones.
So, dear Alaa Yaghi, the best equivalent of the term you ask about (yamama), depends on the context, i mean where's the bird situated, in nature, in the townm coast…??? Big, small, colors….? May be one of these details may help you to use: pigeon or dove.

Discussion
أما اليمامة فلا ترتبط ظلال معناها سوى بمنطقة خرج فيها مسيلمة، وأعطت اسمها لأكبر فضيحة فساد في التاريخ المعاصر
2. Are you asking for a translation of اليمامة, for a translation for الحمامة, or for help distinguishing the two?
Please clarify your question. Thank you.
