Hi I got Barney yesterday but as i have never had anything like him before can anyone tell me what mutation he may be

thanks

He looks like a lovely green clearwing

YEP:DI am Reading up on , Learning and understanding this mutation now

Can we have a wing photo. I think I can see green spangles and that would also be confirmed by the bulls eye throat spots.

My first thought was an Opaline spangle but i am not good at genetics Like Libby and MB

I don't think it is opaline, just spangle

I agree I believe he is a spangle he does have the clear tail feathers as a spangle would

So you fence sitters waited till someone posted

 

Clearwing - Wings are diluted but body color is still BRIGHT

could be both Neat , I just woke UP it is 7AM here

hey guys here are a few more pics to help you out

hope this helps sorry there aren't more but he wouldn't stay still for very long

I think green spangel, but I'm new to the colours

He looks like a green opaline spangle to me . Is he really not an opaline?

 

His yellow is beautiful - so bright !!!

Green Spangle, the colour is juts issues with poor markings. also known as opalance. In the first picture the cheek spots where the key to look at, they were a mix of blue and white which is a spangle trait where as clearwings have full cheek spots.

Ahhhh I will mark that down, However it is a Spangle trait or could be a spangle trait as Mac has this on cheek spot is white the other one is white and blue? He is pied, No spangle Family history in there ...

okay so he is a green spangle thanks for that guys, do you think i should pair him with my albino female? what colours do you think the chicks will be?

It's a Clearwing

I agree with the others it’s a Green Spangle. As to what chicks paired to an Albino. Albino makes it difficult, as we don’t know what she is masking. If the spangle is split for Blue you could get both Green & Blue birds, if he is not split for Blue all Green chicks something like half will be Spangles. Anything else it’s impossible to say.

yes it is a light green spangle & i wouldnt pair him with your albino because he is a green series colour & the albino is a blue series bird & it is also a ino i wouldnt pair him with a albino because the colours whould be more then likely non standard colours & its hard to say what colours you could get out of a pair it all depends on the birds parents.

okay - So new question re: this topic - Don't spangle have black markings????? Unless dilute?

Your right Neat like that nice young chick of yours, but they are not all so good, it’s just a show fault…there’s lots of variation, some almost no markings some light others good strong Black markings. Also some have the Blue replace the Black in their markings another show fault. Could also be split for Opaline.

Ahhhhh - okay. Who came up with all these mutations, THey are making it soo hard for me to get it (understand)LOL!!!

Yes neat it is a spangle Trait but other mutations can have the mixed cheek spots as well (pieds). I was stating in this instance it as a key to determine clearwing or spangle.

I'm with you Neat, i get so confused Thanks for your help with Barney guys but I have 2 more for you to figure out pleeeease I think the first may be the same as Barney but am not sure what the other is

I look forward to hearing what you all think

Now i am pretty sure the first one IS an opaline spangle. The other one is an opaline greywing ????

Agree with Liv

Opaline spangle and opaline greywing
