one orange cheek?

Post by xav8r77 » Sun Jul 20, 2008 3:29 pm

one of my newest babies is a male, mottled white and grey, short chest stripes, trace of chestnut flanks and one cheek has an orange patch but the other one is white. his song is muted and not as loud as his siblings. anyone ever hear of or see this type of coloration?

Is it kinda like this? The other side doesnt even have a patch, this side only has a little.

I have a young one just like that, its other siblings are a solid dark gray or lighter gray with a black beak.
