his is the girl (I was told it is a girl) That we have for a while. We got her when she was a bit over a year old and we still didn't get to tame her properly. She will get out of her cage but not interact much with us, that's why I took the picture while she was in her cage. In one of the pictures we shone a light. What you can't see us that she has very fine brown lining on her back.

Thanks She doesn't have red eyes, so she's not an albino. The eyes are black with very thin white lines around the iris.

I'm not an expert on this. All I can say is that there are some very fine cinnamon coloured lines that you can barely see.

But are you sure the eyes are not red as if the bird is a hen then the cere should probably be a tan or brown colour by now?
Can we have a photo in daylight with no flash?

It was daytime but at the moment the weather here is not too good. Pretty dark and raining so it's difficult to take a good picture without some sort of a light source. But yes, I am sure, the eyes aren't red.

Here are two more pictures. I tried to catch the fine lining on the back but you can't see it in any picture. It's not prominent at all, just a handful of lines. She's mainly white. I was browsing around and she almost looks like a Lacewing Albino, just without the red eyes. And with very few cinnamon markings.

Maybe a cinnamon double factor spangle then? Hezz? I do think this bird might have (had) plum eyes. Plum eyes darken up after a week or two and as adults look like a dark eye with or without an iris ring. "Barely discernible in most lights" is how I have read it described. I think these photos are some lighting that do show it up. Increase the size of the photo, it is not a normal dark eye. Only trouble is that doesn't help us much ... DF spangles, cinnamons, and dark eyed clears have plum eyes at hatching. As a DF spangle doesn't really have markings, I guess a hen can be cinnamon and DFS. You wouldn't know it by visual examination, I wouldn't think. Remember, this is all theory, not practical experience.

Thanks I assume from this she's quite a rare one.
