Hi all, just wondering if anyone can sex this diamond firetail for me - it is a young bird. Thanks in advance

VG photo quality by the way.

Thank you @Tiaris. You can see a little feathers out of place near the neck/ back - caught my known male diamond chasing him(?) around today and attacking him

Thanks Graham.

must agree with Tiaris's summary...
place a male/female close together like your excellent pic and the beak colour difference and eye ring will expose itself.

except for the mention of "maroon"
go the blues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
