First pic - the bird in question is on the left
Second pic - in the middle
Third pic - on the right

Thoughts? Also, I'm not positive if it's male or female.

Looks like a WB SFYB to me.
if it were lilac breasted i think its Body colour would be dilute green like the one in the last pic (dad i guess).
Where as white breasted would show yellow body.
Also guess Cock bird.. Have you heard it sing?

I vote male too. A pretty fellow at that. I have a similar bird, with a powdery pink breast. I was told my male was a WB as well.

they are lovely Liz...very pretty. I don't know much about gouldians but I know a pretty bird(s) when I see one(them).

I'm going to go with a BH.WB.Yb male
If it were a SFYb I would think you'd see more blue ring around his head and not so bright white of a chin.
The breast may be what they call a dirty white breast which after the next molt may go white.
Pretty birds

Lilac Breast acts just like White Breast not Purple Breast.

I don't know anything aout gouldians, but I can see that he is indeed, a pretty bird!

Thanks. I understood dirty whites were uneven in colour, splotchy or streaky.

Whatever the colour he is georgeous

Have to agree,lovely bird indeed

Maybe he/she will pass it on... wouldn't that be cool! It's hard to tell the powder pink from the pictures (too much glare?) but he/she's a gorgeous bird!

well I see something different than the others...
Looks like a BH LB yellow hen to me Very pretty bird.
What are the parents?

That's what I was thinking as well Candace.

Her parents are:
C = RH-B,WB,SFY-B + YTB,PB,YB

However, I bought this YTB,PB,YB (mother) and 4 other hens at the same time from the same breeder and 1 of the other hens has given me two silver chicks. I only point that out because the breeder swore up and down that the hens were not split for anything.

Hmmmm.. my bet is they are split for LB and BB
Don't you just love surprises

Beautiful!

I have a BB that had a little bit of light purple/lilac in its breast, so I thought it was somehow lilac, but it molted to a nice clean WHITE. No hint of the purple/lilac that was there before.
