Coryphospingus pileatus
 
This bird looks to red to be Coryphospingus pileatus also given the white eye ring I would say its Coryphospingus cucullatus the Red-crested finch or Red Pileated Finch
 
I can't say you're wrong (I'm no passerine expert) - it is labelled and Zootierliste-d as C. pileatus and I never questioned it!
 
an excellent turn of phrase! I may well have to take that one up.

Feel free! :D

'Listed on Zootierliste' is just awkward. Reminds me of an old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon about the evils of 'verbing' - how you used to 'gain access to' and now you often just 'access' - that ended with the classic retort:

'Verbing weirds language...'
