From the pic that you uploaded, its not a pair. Both are females. The grey one is a female, she has got slight black flanks and stripes on the chest which is not uncommon in BC females but conisered as a show fault. The other female is Fawn Pied BC but its cheek patch is very light (watch out its its left cheek where black colour of cheek is ending before it can reach half of the cheek). She will not be a good option to breed BC as the some of the chicks will have very light cheek patch.

By the way, wher do you live? From pics of your cage, its like asia.

Ali your female is a black cheek, but not of good markings though. but its a confirmed fawn pied black cheek female there.

And your male is a 100 percent male and NOT a female.
