Cock-of-the-rock - but which species?

While this is obviously the female, I am not sure whether it is Andean or Guianan. I'd be grateful for any pointers from those better skilled at Rupicola identification....

This was in the tropical house, in one of the separate cages on the first floor. The dog bowls are a nice touch for such a wonderful bird!

I'd say Guianan, this bird looks too dark to be Andean. I wouldn't criticise the ceramic bowls they are very practical for larger birds which would easily tip up stainless bowls and they are easy to clean.
 
Guianan. Female Andeans are sort of a dark burnt-orange colour, but female Guianans are this sort of (much darker) blackish-brownish colour.
