October is National Tagline Awareness Month
From the picture, she seems too yellow to be a Green Cinnamon. How about a close-up picture? Here's one of my Green Cinnamons, sometimes know as an Isabel.

Jim,
The Sex-Linked Ino gene does not seem to do a good job in blocking out brown melanin (cinnamon) production. This has been observed not only in IRNs but in other species especially the Budgerigar. The term Lacewing was actually coined because of laced patterns of melanin on the flight coverts on Cinnamon-Ino budgie specimens. Some experts even say that up to 20% of melanin is retained in Cinnamon-Ino crossovers.
Non-Sex-Linked (NSL) Ino however almost totally blocks out melanin because this gene codes for the enzyme Tyrosinase which is the initial catalyst on the biosynthesis of melanin. NSL-Ino is sometimes termed as Tyrosinase-Negative albinism (similar to OCA I human albinism) while SL-Ino is Tyrosinase-Positive albinism (similar to OCA IV human albinism).

We have discussions on topics such as this on a regular basis.
