so to clarify this -at the moment it looks a bit of an odd colour but when it molts i will have a normal green back /blue. is that correct

Not quite - you'll have a dilute green (some people call it dilute yellow or single factor yellow) - it will appear a paler green than normal greens and will have a purple breast. Don't know about the head colour.
