Blackface
Black face is a new mutation in which the black stripes (undulations) of the head extend all the way into the face and mask, as well as the body feathers. The blackface mutation also causes a darkening of the body color. This mutation is extremely rare and last known to only exist in the Netherlands.

I had one like yours very heavily marked...I called her "MUDDY" but she wasnt a blackface either. You will notice on a blackface budgie, the lines and marks also go all over the body as well, which isnt happeneing on your pretty blue budgie.

Thank you KAZ! Is it a new mutation or not?
Dominant or recessive?

Beautiful Bird.
If this bird happened to be blackface - which Kaz said it's not - blackface is recessive.

As Kaz said it’s not a Blaceface, but a heavily marked Opaline, they seem to be more prone to get, what’s called miss marked birds, it would loose points if you were showing it.


It’s a bird that might be used by selection to breed a birds something like a Blaceface. But as they say a Blackface is a rare Recessive mutation & as far as I know there are only a few in The Netherlands [Holland].

I reckon that you should breed him with another opaline and see if you can get even heavier marked budgies.

It depends on what you want to do Dragonfly-Sky, if you just want to breed normal Oplaines, he would be a good cock, as he doesn’t have the same “fault” as her, the dark markings on her head. So you would have a better chance of loosing the dark marks on the head, but if you want to breed a bird with more or darker markings a birds with darker markings if you could find one would be better.

Lady - they don't look any darker than normal and don't have the wash of colour from opaline which is a fault as well so I would think he is a good match if wanting to improve the flecking on the head in the chicks.

I agree with you Norm.

The pics I have seen on this budgie haven't convinced me that it's anything new.
It wouldn't lose points, I doubt it would be judged at all.

Just a heavily marked opaline that would be hard to reproduce. You need a aviary full of them and know the gene linkage before you can pronounce that you have a new mutation

There have been a lot of odd-bods through the years that have come and gone because they couldn't establish a line.
