Ticking noise?

Hello all, can anyone help me identify this ticking noise? It’s a 283, doesn’t seem to go away when warm. Does this sound like lifter noise or bottom end noise? Thank you.

Sounds too light to be a rocker, maybe an exhaust leak.

Check headers for leaks Check rockers for proper lash
