It’s my first year for housing, and I’ve had a pair of adults for a couple weeks now. These two (I assume sub-adults by their appearance ) showed up yesterday. I’m sure this gets asked 1000 times but can anyone help with identification on these? I’m really hoping it’s a male/female pair…….

Not bad for the first year! Buy lottery tickets quick. Sure looks like a subbie pair!
