Red-crested Finch

Coryphospingus cucullatus | In the Tropical Rainforest Aviary, what I can assume is the Red-crested Finch since that's what it most resembles. I've never seen these before in the aviary, so it was nice to get their photo + see their activity
I don't think this is a Red-crested Finch; this looks more like a female Silver-beaked Tanager. The females of the two species look very similar, but the female Red-crested Finch as a slight, white eye ring that is missing in this bird and doesn't have as much contrast between the wing color and the color of the breast and sides.
