although the pic isn't really big enough to see well, I will move it over to the breeding section and see if someone can help you out.

the pic is very small and not top notch quality... but a guess is that its a silver IRN (cinnamon grey), but hey... its a guess.

Mutations in IRN's are normal, they just vary between locations as to which are rare and which are common.

In America, they are banned in most states to sell in a local pet store. NO breeders in my state, i had to have mine ship to me. LUCKY YOU GUYS.

Ill agree with Fah.
Unless it is a young bird if it was a grey it would have a black bottom beak and its legs would be dark grey with black nails,but young birds can sometimes take upto 8mths to colour fully up.
So depending on its age it is either a grey or a grey cinnamon(silver).
Cheers

Hi again
If it is mated with a green bird the young can vary in colour.
Most greens birds these days are split to blue but also can be split to cinnamon and the ino gene.
If you can find out exactly what its breed is or what it parents were(for the green bird) then someone will be able to tell you exact young outcomes for this pair.

IRN's are such a hardy species, and so adaptable to their environment, that in the wild they can pose a serious pest threat unfortunately...

Fact is... you get people who unashamedly release their birds into the wild thinking its the best idea and that they will actually survive the ordeal or dont care. (most diet btw a terrible death often related to starvation, just cos its a bird.. a pet doesnt neccessarily know how best to forrage on local feed types).

We here in Australia for example have flocks of wild IRN's in Western Australia. As beautiful as they are in large numbers with no competition... they damage local wildlife etc by taking all the nesting holes and eating the surrounding food.
