This guy isn't new but im still stumped as to whether he's a melon or marlboro.. i've had the two of them for ages and just recently more spots have come out on only 1 of them, the spots like similar to a pigeon checkerboard. The other one only had a bit of pattern on the face like an alenquer.

The one with no spots

The one with spots (its the one second from the bottom)

Any idea of the strain? Btw i took the second pic at night cos they barely stay still in the day and the reflection of the sun on the glass makes it really annoying to take the pic.

I'd just call it a pigion, not really a marlbro or a melon.

Male and female Pigeon
Not the male will have more striations on the face and head

Yes now i finally know that both of them are male and female. They are a suspected pair!! Both of them swim together (most of the time) and both of them peck all the other discus except each other. They have'nt yet layed eggs as they are still quite young (only bout a year) so im keeping my fingers crossed for when they get older :D
