Description:
The bird at the right is the male, which is slightly brighter coloured. The female shows clearly more white on the back of her cheeck, just below the blak eye-mask.
The best distinguishing feature, is the amount of chestnut in the wing: the male has a much larger and continuous patch of chestnut in the wing.
