Small Tree Finch bill colour (1 Viewer)

Small Tree Finch, female, Galapagos. Why do some of them have an orange bill and some have a black bill? If you look at photos of them on ebird you will see both. (not counting males). Do they change colour during breeding season or as they get older?Sm Tree Finch F2cc.JPGSm Tree Finch F7cc.JPG I also have one that has an olive-green body instead of grey. Apparently, all are female Small Tree Finch.
