CLOSED: Need confirmation on this bird

I check the web and all points to a Female Pyrrhuloxia, however, it does not have any gray in it but other than than it looks like a Pyrrhuloxia. According to the web it has brownish-gray upperparts
gray underparts. Maybe just a youngen. Am I correct. I attached 2 pictures for verification. Btw, photos taken at Sabino Canyon in Tucson Az.

Thanks

Al

The curved bill indicates pyrrhuloxia (as opposed to female cardinal). Females are brownish-gray; males are more grayish.

Wow beautiful shots Met! Agree with altagardener, Male Pyrrhuloxia. A female is buff color with some red but not near as much as the male.

Thanks Burd and altergardener
