Samson is a lemon color with mauve cheek patches and plum eyes?? Delilah is I think maybe a grey green spangle?? She wasn't very impressed with the photo, she was taking a nap. Link to comment

Delilah is a grey green cinnamon. Opaline too ? is she ? They say not to mix cinnamon with fallow, but its up to you, of course. They may both be opaline too. Nice looking birds. Link to comment

Are the eyes RED or PLUM ? Spots seem to be brownish like a cinnamons and that would make the wings brownish. Body colour is a diluted yellow. and red or plum eyes. Interesting bird.

Definitely plum eyes. Very odd. Link to comment
