It is easier to see differences when they are both side by side: however, the female is larger than male, including larger feet, bigger beak (upper mandible is deeper & mouth goes back farther under eye). On this particular pair: male has a sleeker look (flatter head when feather’s aren’t ruffled), the female’s head appears rounder. When looking close, it almost looks like male has eyeliner on his eyes.


Thanks for posting this, Lynne-ie! I didn't see it on the cam site. Very interesting.
