Perhaps we could start out by deciding how many of them there are.
 
If eye colouring doesn't vary from day to day
    and if Pizzey & Knight are correct in specifying different-coloured eyes for the sexes
        then i am fairly confident I have seen two different birds in tthe duffy/rivett/chapman region in the last month.

This I reckon is a male (dark brown-eyed)
I haven't a photo of, but have observed a "red-eyed bird,
perhaps someone else has a photo.
