Kestrel Gender

Hi, I managed to get a snap of a pair kestrels near my home, I wonder which is male and which is female? Roger

I'd say female on the left with rufous head, male on the right with grey head, Roger.

Yes Woko is correct. But need to be careful as males don't always have the grey crown. I have a pair locally that the only time I could tell which was which is when they mated.
