Feather identification (Bavaria/Germany) (1 Viewer)

Hi all!

Could anyone help with the identification of these feathers please? I found them at the beginning of September near Morschreuth, Bavaria, Germany.

They were lying within 100m of each other, just inside the margins of a mature mixed wood, mostly Beech but some conifers too. Hardly any ground cover in the wood itself, but margins about 10m wide with brambles, small bushes etc. The adjacent field was fallow arable land.

I‘m particularly interested in the smaller feather - could it have belonged to a Hazel Grouse?

Many thanks in advance!
