What are the advantages of four wings over two wings?

On a certain planet, there is a large population of falcon-like birds. They dominate the avian ecosystem. However, a population of nearly-identical birds soon finds its way in. The only difference between the two species is that members of the new population have four wings instead of two.

What advantages (if any) would the four-winged falcons have over the two-winged falcons? Would they be faster? Quieter? Better at maneuvering?
