Lovely What?

What do you make of Lovely (to the right on the first picture)? I'm not too good with mutations but he has no "stripes", therefore cannot be a recessive pied?

picture over the size regulations of 450x450, changed into a link, thank you for understanding

She is a Yellow Face 2 Cobalt (or violet hard to tell) Clearwing Recessive Pied

the clearwing is erasing all the marking from her wings and head

I'm not good with this sort of stuff, so I'll leave it for someone else to answer... but BOTH of your budgies are very, very, adorable :D

Any iris rings ? Either eye ? Could even be a DF Dominant pied but I would expect to see some dark markings around the head area if it were.

That is why I was going with recessive Kaz because of the way the blue was structured on her body but excellent question I didn't think of that. :D

The birds were a Valentine present, I think they're too young to have iris rings anyways.

Personnally, I think it's a boy...

Id go with YF2 Cobalt Recessive pied also. And I reckon its a boy as well

How do you explain the total lack of markings then? Just a fluke?

Oh other people have not said it but I did in my first post I also believe he is a clearwing along with the other mutations stated. Clearwing budgies have very light or no markings on head and wings and the body color is brightened. Unless he develops and iris ring and a blue cere then he would be a double factor dominant pied which can be marked like a clearwings.

 

I am saying recessive because of the what the blue is marked on him between the legs and he doesn't have the coloration up by the shoulders like dominant pieds do.

 

Yellow Face 2 Cobalt (or violet hard to tell) Clearwing Recessive Pied and I am going with male too from the looks of the picture.
