She is a grey dilute

There is no such thing as pearls in budgies mutation as there is in cockatiels, Neville is correct she also looks like an opaline too.

 

She is very pretty.

opaline spangle?? Top picture can just see the 'anchor' shape on its shoulder, could be seeing things though lol

I have one similar although mine has cinnamon lightening the body colour.

should the tail be lighter if spangle Pie?

there is definitely some dilute there, but the wings are not normal.

 

Is it possible that this bird is a spangle? or a greywing? Does greywing slute the body? what about both?

im not sure but she my have a very light cinnamon touch to her when i look really close. she wants to pair up with a cobalt dominant pied, but not sure if i should use her for a more useful task now you have all given me just cause to think she is spangle thank you all. if you know she would produce nice chicks let me know, i may just try x x x

Greywing is when the body is only 50% strenght and the wings are grey

Dilute is 80% Dilutation which is what she is I agree with Neville

 

Spangle the tail feathers would be clear. The first picture of her I can see the opaline.

I think the wings look different because of the fact they don't look like they are laying down smooth.

 

Right now I go with a Opaline Dilute Grey

 

Oh and a note, pearl and silver is not a mutation in budgies but it is in cockatiels.
