I guess .. just from looking at the pic and knowing my kai, the blue's usually have the brighter blue heads and tail with the softer blue body's. This picture it seems the bird has a softer blue head (more white in the head) with a richer blue body. Thats just my guess.
But then it does say that this at the top of the photo;
On the photos I have given the new name as well as the old or commonly known name of each colour. The new naming came about due to the many names around the world for the same colour. In the genetics section I will explain some of the colours in detail.
But I cannot seem to find the genetics section
But I will page Jay if you like, he would be able to help you more;

Hi there,
The Whitehead-Whitetail IRN is a rare and valuable combination of the Blue and Cleartail mutations. Hence it is also called Blue Cleartail. However, only adult males have the white head and white tail. Hens only have the white tail. Male juveniles tend to have some semblance of white feathers on their faces. This is one of the rare instances where in IRNs can actually be gender-determined upon feathering. Both male and female would also have white down feather from the breast area down to the tail.
In the Green series, the mutation would have a yellow head and yellow tail. In the parblue series, they would have cream head and white tail.
Here are some pictures of two male Blue Cleartails babies that I produced the past breeding season. The mother is a visual Blue Cleartail and the father is a Blue split Cleartail.

Thanks for the compliments birdmates. Here's a couple of pictures of adult Blue Cleartail males. Also notice their feet and nails are lighter in color compared to the normal Blues. The two young males on the pictures above are baby males. They still have some blue feathers on their heads. But as they mature and after each moult, the head becomes almost totally white.

Sounds about right for Oz. Breeding age visual Cleartails are selling for about $2000 in the US, pricier than the Violets.
