Sorry Jos - I'm not sure if I understand - do you mean they stay in pairs (m+f) a lot of the time or is it a pair of "sister" species ?

 

[Jos Stratford]

.... it a pair of "sister" species ?

This one :t:


As my clue was perhaps not very clear, I'll give a free answer tot he Bullfinch guess - not this species.

It is not WP, but I am reasonably sure every member on this forum will know the species and will have seen at least on TV,

Not me

13. Call me looney but is it Greater Roadrunner? :-O

That's a pretty good guess - it is part of a species pair, doesn't breed on the ground ...but stretching definition for me to say it spends most of time off the ground - unless I were meaning because it was running so fast

However, incorrect answer

 

[Jos Stratford]

Not me

Even if you haven't seen on TV, I think you will know the species.
