Hoping to find out the color mutation of these two beautiful birds. So far I only have photos in 2 different lightings, which is at the store and and at home in a pretty dark room. I'll try to get some photos in natural light tomorrow.
For the gender:
I know the greywing is a male, but I'm unsure about the younger lighter bird. Me and the store employee both agreed she looked more like a female than a male. I'm really hoping I didn't end up with 2 males. You can see her cere color better in the store photos.
Now for the color:
You can see the color better on the greywing male in the pet store photos than the at home ones. I can tell the male is a greywing, but the body color is throwing me off... Violet? Mauve? Mauve and violet? He definitely looked violet in the better lighting. The camera just wasn't picking it up very well.
The female(?) you can see better in the at home photos. She looks very white in the store ones. She'll probably get a little brighter after her first molt. She is an opaline, right? Her tail has hints of sky blue in it, but closer to head is more light violet-y. I am so confused about her. She isn't a greywing, yet her color looks kind of diluted. Maybe a sky blue violet or something?
