If you had a shot of her cere that would help. Lutino males keep their pink ceres and females should if 12 months turn a whitish tan. You may just have a male but a picture of the actual bird's cere without a flash would help . Congrats on your newest addition. Link to comment

Not all female's ceres will turn tan/brown during their first molt. Some will wait until closer to a year before they are brown, and that is normal. They are just later developers. One of my dominant pied hens cere was whitish until she was around a year old. It does not mean there is anything wrong. Can you clarify though, in your original post you said the cere was dark pink with a little white, and the last thing you said was that it was whitish-tan, going brown. Is it dark pink or whitish-tan? Edited March 3, 2007 by Rainbow Link to comment
