please help with identification
Hi everyone
A friend just sent me these pics of a bird asking what mutation it is. It looks almost like a grey green pallid(wine red eyes and pinkish feet) but the wings are looking very mottled to me. Could I please get some other peoples input

Carmen,
This thread might help, perhaps cinnamon is also involved?
some reference pics .
http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... f=1&t=8306
Pattern looks mottle... looking at the blue bird it does not look like a cinnamon pattern more pied...
Let's see what others are saying.

The blue pied is not related. I thought so to at first but when I asked they said that it was just one of their other birds. Thanks for the link though. I have given the person the link to this page so they can follow the topic.
Re: please help with identification
Telling us the parents would be helpful, the bird is also young,
Cinnamon birds going through molt look extremely close resemblance to pieds
so my guess is that you're right + cinnamon

I also asked about parents, but the person doesn't know. Its a 2012 bird. When I first guessed at the 1st picture sent I said it looked similar to my edged grey green cinn, then in a later pic I saw the yellow head so then I leant towards pallid but the mottled look on the wings had me stumped. It looks so much like pied. I do know that cinn has a mottled look when they are young, I experienced that with some of my babies from this season, but this little guy/girl had so much more of it.

May be its bcos of the blurred snaps but I cant see any visible white iris for this young bird. Is it possible that it has a CH gene in it as well.

Hi Sherjil, no the solid eyes are because it is a young bird. That will change as it gets older.

Re: please help with identification
Hi, no, the bird is not related to any other birds in the pics. I think that pic was just a fluke with the lighting. I know how hard it is to accurately capture a birds true colour. I still haven't successfully managed to do it with one of my birds to date and I have had it for nearly a year. Sorry, I wish I knew the history of the bird too, it would make life easier.
