What mutation(s) is he? I have an idea but I've heard spangle, dilute or greywing.. So I wasn't sure, and wanted someone to look for me.

 

Pics were all taken in natural lighting (no flash) and he's definatly lighter shade than my other sky blue budgies.

I would say greywing due to wing markings and spots. He isnt dilute as the body colour would be paler than that. And not spangle either. He has no flights as they have been clipped and that would help in further confirmation of what he is. But so far I would say greywing.

I agree it is a greywing, they have a 50% dilution to their bodies. If it was a dilute it would be an 80% dilutation and he is not that light. Pretty bird.

I agree too with greywing. What colour is the tail? it's hard to tell in the first shot. It is a bit harder to tell without the flights but I can see faint marks on the bottom row of feathers that would not be showing on a spangle.

his tail is a very very light grey.. and I'm not sure on the flights as they were clipped before I got him. But I think you guys are spot on.. thanks all!

 

When I first got him I'd thought dilute but I wasn't sure if he'd be considered 50% or 80% coloring. So I think you all confirmed that he is infact a greywing at 50%. Thanks all!
