Haha, Allen! If you happened upon an unrelated pair like that, your timing is impeccable!

Thanks Mauna Perhaps I spotted a mixed marriage, with hapa chicks, or perhaps the male and female just happened to be in the same area when I took the picture.

Males and females look like this: http://cdn1.arkive.org/media/32/3263DC56-E0A1-4158-A0DA-A3825C11D6C4/Presentation.Large/Male-and-female-red-junglefowl-with-tail-feathers-that-suggest-hybridisation.jpg
