I have 2 parakeets. Payton and Skylar. Both believed to be female. I am questioning Payton the white budgie. I've been told shes a recessive pied and also a df dominant pied. Been told male and female. This cere coloring is confusing. Can somebody help

Does the recessive pied have white rings around the nostrils in natural light? if so then a female.

I find it really hard to tell from photos as they all seem to show different colours!
