female chaffinch > < Buchfink-Weibchen

The female chaffinch is a good example of a problem that many laypeople have when identifying bird species. In the Chaffinch, the sexes look different. While the male Chaffinch has a bright red breast and a light blue back of the head, the female is rather plain light brown in colour. The different plumage colouration in the sexes and in young birds can also become a problem for many experts in less common bird species.
