Thanks mm !
I’m not sure either, other than it’s a pheasant of some type.

It is a Brown Eared Pheasant

Thank you very much, Mike and llamedos!

now one cormorant emerged with fish, but which one is it, the Hunter or the Thief? (hint: you can tell them apart by one trait):

I'm going to say that the thief emerged the victor. I'm not sure about the one trait, but to me the thief has a darker neck, and somewhat bluer eyes, maybe.

I don't know what the previous background was, but the blue sky background looks great. The shot of the dove is really nice.

The thief seems to be a bigger bird overall, too.
