Aussie Finch Forum

Just wondering if anyone could tell me whether they think the ruddie finch on the left with the spots would be a hen or cock? It was sold as a cock but have read that if they have spots they are a hen? We have not had ruddies before so unsure of difference. Appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

They both males, both hens and cocks carry spots. Hens are brown all over but with a little red above the eyes.

Thank you for your help. Will be on the lookout for a couple of female ruddies then

Depth of colour can vary somewhat.
