How can I tell a male from a female Diamond Dove?

[ThebigE]

I really want to get a couple diamond doves and I really want a breeding pair, sooooo how can I tell them apart?

Males have a very bright red cere around the eye, and hens have a more dull red color.

yes, thanks as well, as ive been looking, and wondering as well, if i can get some, unless i just get hatching eggs (can you foster diamond dove eggs to finches, budgies or tiels?).
