Yes, plus the black beaks, that are usual on the juveniles of most (though it appears not all) Estrildid finch species, in which the adults have red, yellow, white, blue or two toned beaks.

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Red-browed Finch breeding
The little flock of RBF at Ginninderra Creek behind my place have bred well in this good season. Late November, the adults brought the young to my bird feeder but the young birds stayed in nearby shrubbery and the adults fed them. Now they
have started feeding themselves from the bowl. Note the ID feature for juveniles, the absence of the red brow.
