There is something members need to keep in mind while posting pictures to ask about mutations. Different lights can change the color of the budgies significantly, hence the mutation told would not be correct. This is one of my budgies. But as you can see, it is a great example of taking pictures of the same bird in different lights. It is evident that different lights can alter the visual outcome of the budgies. In one picture the budgie looks like a Goldenface. In another picture it looks like Yellow Face Mutant 1 (SF). In another picture it looks like Yellow Face Mutant 2 (DF). But in fact it is Yellow Face Mutant 1 Opaline Cobalt.

I can't believe how green the bird looks in one photo! That's what camera flash can do to cere and body colors

Then what's the best method to get the correct mutation? Taking pictures in natural light without flash. Posting more than one picture.

Here is perfect example for a mutation picture. But of course one can post individual pictures in different lights, from front, back and top side of the budgie.

Plus check your photos, and use those with the best representive colours only. Only you know what your bird really looks like - make sure the colours in the photos match the real colours of the bird in question. BB's photos are a great example of that.

When ever I take a photo of one hen she always looks sky blue when in person she looks purpley and I've tried nature lighting The blue has three shades in budgies. Sky Blue, Cobalt and Mauve. You have to find out which color is your budgie and post the most appropriate picture. A violet budgie can look purple.
