I think female Tawny-capped should have more grey underneath. Female Olive-backed perhaps? Based on the rufous toned undertail?
 
You might be right.

The reason I put the ID as Tawny capped euphonia is because I saw a male of that species closeby, so I figured this would be the female. But it didn't look quite right in hindsight.
Olive-backed looks more right. Wish I had seen the crown, but the bird only let me take one pic before flying of.
