I'd say hen because the mask doesn't extend back far enough . .

But that's not one of yours

And the one in top pic is also the one on the left

Give them some regular leb cucumber, livefood (even just mealies are fine for RFPFs), a couple of knee-high placed nest boxes or other receptacles, nesting grass + feathers & you should see the mating ritual/chase pretty soon in this warm weather.
