Another lovely couple Vivek. Really like the patterning on these, they look pretty small in size?

I think Mr. Francolin's got the good looks in the family

Like the angle you caught in the 1st better than the last.

Thanks for the comments... Funny you should mention the males being better looking... Of all the pictures I have posted, there are many cases of this. The ones that come to mind are:

Baya Weaver (males are better looking with deep yellow around their throats)
Peafowl (No contest here)
Sandgrouses
Marshall's Iora

and of course the

Francolins....
