Maybe it's just the photos but he kind of looks blue..

Did you use a flash? As that can change how you view the colour of the bird considerably

It's possible you are correct but right now I'd lean towards mauve spangle.

Those pictures were taken in natural light with no flash on.

Looks rather like my Blue (who was not a spangle, though), in my avatar. He was mauve.

It is possible that he's a bit of a mix and that the spangle is masking something.

I've just had a look through my photos of my mauve fella and all his photos show up quite grey (might just be the light, of course) and my violet boy shows up as more blue.

I think I'd call him mauve.
