Layton mutation

[budgiegirl]

I can't believe how difficult it is to capture Layton's colour right in any form of light :/ I have tried to get the best pictures possible to aid in determining the mutation of my lovely little lady
Layton is a dusty lilac colour and overly white all round. However she has grey/purple/cinnemon? flecks on her flights? Which leads me to believe she is a lacewing maybe a spangle?
What do you think?










On this pic you can see the pin feathers from her first molt on her head

She is very pretty whatever she is.

Thanks hun! Its very hard to capture Layton's colours exactally with no flash, she's so lightly coloured its almost impossible to capture the lilac tones

Thank Nat, its so confusing how to determine its mutation....I mean at first I thought she was a lacewing but then noticed she didn't have cinnemon spots

I think she is a gorgeous girl too. She does a lot more for me than a true white budgie ........ the subtlety of her colours is beautiful.

I know what you mean! I have to use the colours and mutations guide quite often, but I have 2 exactly the same colour as your hen, but not spangle and a few years ago asked the very same question on another budgie forum lol :-D

she is defenatly not a lacewing. Seems to be a dilute cobalt opaline spalgle hen. not sure exactly.
