Hello Everyone,
A quick question to anyone who might know.
Are the Lavender Waxbill and the Cinderella Waxbill, the same bird?

Thank you very much (didn't even know about the third one).
I have tried to look at these birds' pictures, and maybe it's my eyes
, but they looked very much the same. Must be time for stronger glasses, lol.
