Hey all. Can anyone tell me what mutation Charlie was? I think these pictures all accurately capture his colouring at various stages - he was pure white when I got him and stayed that way for a few years until we started using a full spectrum light, then he started to break out in the yellow colour you see (though some of his flight feathers and his tail feathers stayed white). In the last few years he started to develop (if I recall correctly) 6 patches of faint green on his chest that never quite fully emerged but you could tell were there. The first photo was the last one I took of him before he passed, which is why he looks poorly, but this is one of the most accurate shots I have of his colouring so I thought I'd include it as you can see the green patches I mentioned. Rest in peace my little feathered friend X

Possible a double factor spangle (what do you think Ira, Hezz?) I'm no expert!

Possibly.
Looks like a yellowface. Is it Type 1 that bleeds into the body feathers?

I think he might be both, if he doesn’t have red eyes - a yellow faced double factor spangle, or my other guess is creamino - a yellow faced albino - which would have red eyes.

Thank you all, after looking up some other examples I think yellow face double factor spangle seems about right.
