two of a kind
Birds of feather
Two of a kind describes two people or things that are remarkably similar, especially in temperament or character.
The phrase often carries affectionate or ironic undertones: Those two troublemakers are really two of a kind.
It derives from card games, where two of a kind means a pair of cards with the same rank.
