Blue or green gouldian chick?

This is my first ever gouldian chick. It comes from a blue/split blue pair. The center nodules are most certainly white, which I had read meant a blue baby. But now it looks like green feathers coming in on its back. At this point I'm guessing it's a green back. What do you think? Sorry for the pictures, I can't easily get the nest out.

Very hard to tell in the pictures with the lighting but if the feathers are a grey color and not green then it is a blue. You may have to wait a couple more days for the feathers to come out of the sheath more.
good luck

Heres a picture of two babies from the same parents. Father is BB Mother is GB/BB
Top baby is a BB, bottom is GB (split to blue of course). If you see any green feathers then its going to be a GB/split to Blue
