Normal greens or is there a difference?

Here are 2 green babies I bred, both nestmates, have a look at the following pics and look at the variation in colour especially in the tail feathers and tell me what you think, would you call both birds normal green or is one different to the other http://s20.postimg.org/d2m1e9x65/IMG_20140307_0015...
