Sitting here in East London yesterday, heard a loud (very) constant sqrawking then two birds landed in the garden. Obviously male and female, male was about a pigeon size but had a grey body and a black face and red feathers on the top of its head.

Female followed him round the garden, she was a dull brown colour.

Any ideass, I've tried searches on that description and nothing comes up as a match.

Sounded like we were in the Tropics. laugh

confused

Not the best picture, but the best I could get after cropping it. The feathers on the top of his head are a deep red colour. smile
