[Is this a properly matched pair? It's been two months since iI ntroduced the female and I haven't seen them mate yet.. i

The one with the white cheeks and black head looks like a Java to me. Can't really tell what the other one is. What are they supposed to be? Have you heard either one sing?

If both birds chirp, they are females.

The one with the black head sings and does that mating dance/hop but he used to do that even when he was alone. The fawn colored Java just chirps. Thanks guys but there never was any doubt about their sex. What I was afraid of was whether they were incorrectly paired because of their different colors., or if I needed to include extra protein or something in their diet. Will try to post a close-up of the female to confirm anyway.

There you go. It's a little blurry but one can make out the beak and crest.;
