I would have to agree with a Turquoise grey cleartail and a hen.The distinct light ring around neck like hens get and also the pink legs.

Turquoise grey cleartail hen it is.

An Indigo would not have as much psittacine/yellow esp. in head area of a young hen.

It was the tail, the black stripe seen in pic 2 that made me do it. :P
my initial reaction : is this a Harlequin CT?
not my bird.

Here's another tail's tail

Can't be harlequin ct because of the dark main flights and the over all body color. But maybe they are split for a rec. pied mutation or even cleartail is a pied mutation. :D
Paul has such "pied ct" too and i think some breeders from SA also.

Yep. thought about that for a while now.
It is odd that my "white Pied CT" bred no pieds from 4 young, curious to see if i get any this season.
the only young i kept from them now 10 months old

I haven't seen any. You know who? :D I bred some double splits last year, but I'm far away from the pied ct combo.

This bird was purchased as a one year old CHCT that moulted in it's pied markings on it's second year moult which it held stable until it's third moult where at that point reverted back to CHCT and it still is today this bird is a member of a family that forms the base of all the CHCT in my collection and also a friend of mine whom i got her from and neither of us have seen it since (unfortunately)
