So.... roll drums........... the breeder says he is: Yellow Face, cobalt blue, clearwing spangle dominant pied - she said a few mixes in his genetics. Given my earlier assessment, I agree with your breeder, obviously, in all respects... except dominant pied. Your Max has classic recessive pied coloring and pattern. Both SF and DF dominant pied have very different patterns, even with spangle and clearwing present.
Regarding your question about opaline--do you see flushes of bluish color on the muted wing pattern? I think i do. If so, add opaline to the mix.

Thank you. She probably was mid kids and having people collect the remaining buds. I’ll look, I’m not sure if bluish or greyish

Well, those profile shots give me pause about DF dominant vs recessive pied. When you next speak to your breeder, perhaps you could ask if one or both parents was a pied. Max is certainly not SF dominant pied--we can eliminate that option.
Otherwise, time will tell when/if Max's eye eventually irises or not. If it does, he's DF dominant pied. If it does not, he's recessive pied.

It’s all so fascinating, and complicated lol
I’ll message her in the week. I thought I’d kept the original photos which she sent me, of the 6 babies, as one was Max’s sibling
What age might the Iris ring show if it’s going to?

Reading up on the ones you’ve mentioned, I think he’s recessive

This photo shows the spangle up much better.

What age might the Iris ring show if it’s going to? If he's going to iris, it could start as early as 4 months and continue to progress through 8 months or so.
