from your picture your male is a silver. Cinnamon males look like normals only lighter and duskier.
The hen may call a male for any reason. If I read it wrong and the male is calling and/or feeding the hen then it may be a courtship thing.

probably just curiosity - if you saw someone new in your little cage you'd probably call them over to say hi :)
