Her tail looks blue in the first photo. Link to comment

I think she might even be double factor goldenface, or goldenface/yellowface combo, seeing as how the yellow hasn't spread so much to her body and wings. (But that's just speculation, and I'm no expert at identifying types of yellow and golden face combinations. Just know what I've learned on the forum here, that when they are combined or doulbed up, their bodies look different.) Link to comment

With the cinnamon, could it just be the yellow that is making it look a little like that colour? Link to comment

I had three cinnamon yellowface hens before, and you could tell it easily, but on one of them, it was harder to see until after she molted. What color is the quill of her tail feathers?

I think in one of your nest shots there is a moulted feather that looks brown, on my monitor anyway. Her markings are dark for a cinnamon but it may just be the violet influence.

Either way, all of the boys will be split to cinnamon because they will at least get it from their mother. Link to comment

But I suppose that if you get the right light, you would be able to see a brownish, reddish color, even throughout their whole life. That's the way the cinnamon gene works in all parrot species. The eyes start out plum or red, and then turn to a dark red brown within a few days, but appear as black. Link to comment
