Field Notes

Description:

These lovely birds were in pairs; I guess the brownish one is the female. They were making strange sounds, almost like magpies.

The brownish one in this photo is a juvenile male. The females have no red on their faces, and their plumage is completely grey/white and striped :)
You could buy a field guide. ;)
