I can only sex normal gray Zebra finches, but others should be able to help you. I did want to welcome you to the forum! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on finch care and the Zebra finch. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier for members to answer locale-specific questions later on.

looks to be a female split to pied....gray zebras males have red beaks and hens have orange....unless the bird is a yellow beak mutation....I see no hints of a breast bar or cheek patches on this bird.

She is doing great. Her aerial skills are impressive! She eats millet out of my palm. Elle est en bonne forme. 
Any other experts on identifying this beautiful bird's sex?
