Red-fronted Serin - Turkey (2 Viewers)

[petit-robert]

Hello everyone
Last week in Turkey in the Akseki region I photographed this canary. a few seconds before a Red-fronted Serin landed on the branch just next to this bird. Unfortunately the male didn't stay and I just had time to photograph what I took for the female. This bird then left to join the male. But I can't find any resemblance to Red-fronted Serin females. What do you think ? Knowing that there were also European Serin in the area but not there.
Thanks in advance
Robert

Not a species I've seen, but females should have a cinnamon face and it's clearly not a male. So not that species I think

Thank you for your reply.
On the Delachaux & Niestlé guide it's written that some females are much less black/dark. But with this very long tail, it does not look like a European serin.
But like you, I don't know this species, it was my first encounter.
I will wait for other opinions.
Thanks again

It is a European Serin.
Also, female Red-fronted are very similar to males. It is the juveniles with the 'cinnamon head'.
