I initially thought this guy was grey green but at closer inspection and at comparison with other grey greens I'm not so sure.

Looks like a Recessive Pied cock to me, yellow and dark green for his body colour. :wub:

Hi Linda, from the photos there looks to be to much blue sheen on the feathers to be greygreen, maybe he is an olive or violet green. What colour are his tail feathers it is hard to tell in the photos.

Nice bird anyway :wub:

Tail feathers are yellow & black + some green same shade as body colour on underside.

tail feather has been affected by the pied gene and so not useable to tell the difference.

 

cheek patchs are normal blue meaning he isn't grey-green. they don't appear dark enough for me to suit either olive or violet green. Which leaves us with dark green as the answer.

I agree with Nerwen, those were my same thoughts.

You can have violet Lt green , dark green and olive green , the violet gene just manuiplates the shade of colour .

Violet Dark green Recessive Pied. You can test pair to find out exactly.

I agree with Nerwen and Elly, I say Dark green recessive.

Lochlan - true but the cheek patches are still dark, normally darker than these ones

Some shots that hopefully show cheek patches better.
