I had thic chick from a cinnamon-opaline dominan pied olive green split greywing hen and a greygreen normal split cinnamon and opaline cock.

 

And the chick looks like this, he's now 24 days old I can't see any body colour anywhere. I was wondering if he could be a cinnamon greywing, thus l"double diluted" by the cinnamon and the grewing gene? What do you think? By clicking the link beside the picture, you'll get to see a bigger picture, which I recommend.

Can a hen be split to graywing?

Have no idea with the chick other than to say it is beautiful.

I would lean toward Texas Clearbody as that erases the coloring of the body, what were the parents?

If texas clearbody the flights would be grey wouldnt they ? His flights and tail are cinnamon...and you used a flash to take the photo didnt you ?

I would love a clearbody but I'm afraid he's not. I stated above that the parents are a dominant pied cinnamon opaline split greywing hen and a normal greygreen split cinnamon and opaline cock. This chick looks like a boy, cannot be TCB if the father is not split and hen visual and then isn't, as she's dominant pied.

Here's the father

 

And the hen about 6 months old, this picture was taken in June 2008. Flash makes the chest look very bright green as in normal light it's more olive or grey green.

The first picture of the chick is taken without flash.

I believe the chick to be an cinnamon opaline grey green with poorly marked wings.

Cinnamon opaline is clear, and opaline markings are quite bad I have to admit. Hopefully they get better after the moult.

 

I think after the first moult the real body colour could come out better too. His mother was very yellow too, when she came to me 2 months old and the feathering has gotten a lot darker since. But I'll post you new pics later on when he can properly stand, from front and behind, to see if I can spot any body colour anywhere.

Then I agree with Kaz's conclusion

I agree. Cinnamon opaline grey green seems to be the only option

When I saw this post I realised that I had a chick just like it and I too was wondering what colour it could be:
