US, casual, non-scientific usage: Pigeons are gray and live in cities. Doves are white.
Mist is when the air is full of fine droplets of water. It is not heavy enough to actually be rain, but if you walk around in mist, you will get wet. It does not obscure your vision. It's just wet.
Fog *does* obscure your vision - you can't see through it. It is drier than mist.
