Wow, thank you so much for that picture example. I completely understand now. The lilac is barely visible in females, and as you said, looks to be a very pale pink. I was confused because the purple breast in females look lilac to me, so I was wondering how the differentiation was made for actual lilac breasted females. I get it now -- for lilac breasted females, it's more of a rose colored breast. Thank you for that wondering explanation. Have a great weekend.debbie276 wrote:A Lilac Breast hen is usually very pale pink, just not white, some call it rose breasted.
