always thought that the one on the right was a female siskin but seeing them both together this morning has me wondering if they are both siskins - know the one on the left definately is but what of the other?

sorry for poor quality but taken through window with sun shining in!

The one on the right (according to my OH......NOT me :roll: !!!)
is definetley a siskin and the one on the left certainly looks like a male siskin ....
