yes the tear mark will get stronger in color as the CFW chick
gets older.

but she could be fawn cfw.
cant see it very well..
can you maybe take a pic of the tail, back and front?

here is one of my fawn CCFW.

so cute :)

I love your pictures. =D>

Here are 2 that I just took of the tail area, except one is more of her back than the tail. I'll wait to see if these will work before trying again. Looks like one of her tail feathers got damaged in the process.

the first picture looks to be a regular CFW tail.

regular cfw have black/grey tear and brownish tailbars.
fawn cfw (and fawn ccfw) have fawn tear and tail bars.
also they have more creamish wing/back feathers.
