I have this lovely little spangle (the budgie at the bottom of photo) and was just wondering why his wing colouring is lighter than the others I have?

 

 

Also I have this lovely white budgie he is not albino as he has black eyes and not one slight pattern/marking anywhere what do we call these?

From our FAQ how to figure out what a solid colored budgie (yellow/white) is

 

Difference between an Albino/Lutino VS Dark Eyed Clear VS Double Factor Spangle?

What is the difference between a Lutino/Ino and a Dark Eyed Clear (DEC) or a Double Factor Spangle?

 

These three birds can all be the same colour with the same amount of suffusion. The main difference is their eyes and the colour of the adult male's cere. There are other very subtle differences.

 

Lutinos (or albinos) have red eyes with an iris ring and the males cere will stay pink all his life.

 

Dark eyed clears have dark eyes with no iris ring. (As small babies in the nest their eyes are plum coloured). The male's cere will stay pink all it's life

 

Double factor spangle adults have black eyes with an iris ring and the adult male's cere is the normal blue colour.

 

So now that you have that information, what do you think your bird is? I ask because I don't know the age of the bird so don't know if he has or has not developed the iris ring.

 

As with your Spangle, looks like a Cinammon Spangle? The markings are brown yes? that would be why they are lighter if they are grey and my monitor is messing with me then she would be a Greywing Spangle.

An opaline cinnamon spangle at that

thank you so much for the great replies, in regards to the white budgie it seems I may have to wait till it is older to be sure but now I at least know what to look for and the little spangle the wing colouring is brown so must be cinnamon which is great and opaline too didn't even think he would be that
