I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what mutation my budgie, Pistachio, is? I'm not exactly sure and would like to know. This is Pistachio...

I think Pistachio is a full bodied greywings light green. Not 100% sure though

Okay, that's what I thought. I was mainly wondering about his spots/stripes on his wings. Do you see how some of them are like a greywing and some look more like normal stripes/spots for a light green?

Looks like just a moult. New adult feather are brighter than baby ones.

Okay. Thanks!!

I'm not convinced Pistachio is a greywing. Greywings will have greyish tails also, and his tail looks normal. He might be dilute. It does look like he is molting, so once all his feathers are replaced it might be easier to accurately tell what he is.

Ann how do you tell the difference between dilute and greywing that has always been my question since they can produce the same results.
