Posted January 27, 201015 yr Another addition to my flock ;-). Think it is a greywing dominant+clearflight pied....maybe skyblue with violet factor...or cobalt? What do the experts think? Thanks for your help. This is Miles :
January 27, 201015 yr Author Looks like skyblue dom pied greywing to me. Cool. I am getting better with identifying the mutations. It's my first greywing :-). Do the markings and the body color usually get darker after the first moult? The front is a really pale blue, but the feathers on his back (close to the tale) are darker blue.
January 27, 201015 yr Miles is a real little sweety, really cute Oh and I agree with Nubbly sky blue dom pied grey wing
January 27, 201015 yr Yes the markings usually moult out darker and the body colour is usually brighter and more even in adult feathering. The darker blue shading around neck and rump are not uncommon in many skyblues even if they don't carry the violet gene.
