The beak is actually a little brighter than the picture shows.

The beak is too orange for a male!

Re: sexing zebra finch
Thanks everyone. I have her alone in a cage that is divided. I don't want her to be alone but don't want to breed her. If I put another female in will they get along?

Re: sexing zebra finch
Here is a better picture from above so you can see the tail markings and color of beak. Color is more accurate in this photo.

Re: sexing zebra finch
Almost certainly a hen
The biggest give away is the colour of the beak being orange and not red

Re: sexing zebra finch
Don't quite get what yer referring too Elana,
Look at the top pic and the beak is bright orange, yes ok in the second pic the beak possibly looks a little more red but don't forget it's all to do with light and camera and not forgetting the pic has been taken from above
Basically it's a hen
