LOL oh my, I didnt know :lol:

well, then I can only guess..
Maybe she is having this condidtion Melanism..
because she is very dark; very dark wings and face..
Or she is black fronted?

Are finches not imported to Australia?

maybe your female is.. charcoal normal grey mix?
Im not very good in Australia mutations :lol:

I dont think he is Phaeo or Isabel, if he were he would have no black/grey on him at all and he has quite a bit on his chest.
He is definately Fawn.
Definately Orange breasted.
Looks like he could be carrying Blackbreast, because of the larger cheek patches.
I agree with Vargur Female certainly looks Black faced, but you will certainly find this out for sure when you breed.
Blackfaced are dominant so you only need 1 gene, from male or female, for it to show. Birds can not be split BF. So if she is BF then half the babies will be too.
OB is recessive. If the hen is split OB, and BF, you will get some absolutely stunning babies.
15 Gouldian, 40+ mutation Zebs, Societies and 1 Cut-throat (the only one i ever bred)... plus babies everywhere

well here they are. im a bit confused as the colours are very odd. it kind of looks like a pied fawn but hows that possible when the mother was black face and dad red breasted fawn?? shouldnt the baby be black?? unless the mother and father were also split for something else??
if anyone knows what colour it definitely looks like please tell me. thanks :D :D
