Not sure as you said the picture is dark...does she look like the female on efinch

the picture above the Note section
http://www.efinch.com/species/fczeb.htm

or does she look like the top picture of a combination of fawn gray cheek on the same page...honestly the picture is so dark you can't make out the coloring on her body.

The light beak could be the mutation from mom or the pied in the dad...both a clear close picture of both mom and baby would help, one of dad to.
