Difference between a Congo and a Timneh

[African_charlie]

Hey guys
I have a quick question . How do I know if my African Charlie is a Congo or a Timneh ( I don’t know as his old owners didn’t tell )
And what is the difference?
Thank you

Congo: light red tail and light grey color

Timmeh: dark red tail and dark grey color

the beak on a congo is all black.
a Timneh has some light coloration on the upper part of the beak.

Although adult weight can vary greatly, Congos are generally larger than Timnehs.

We would love to see photos of your Charlie.
