-Still not sure what colour she is.-

Hiya guys.
I'm still a bit confused about my "girl" here (don't know if it is a girl really but the odds are with me).
I would think that she is a fawn but she is a bit lighter and grayer than my other fawn chick that is truly brown with dark brown tail bars, while this little girl has mire light gray tail bars...
Her tail reminds me of the isabel mutation but she doesn't look at all like my other isabels and shows no dilution in her feathers.
Maybe I'm just reading to much into her colour and she is simply a fawn, but yeah, what do you guys think?

Btw the parents are male ng/pied/bc and female lb/bc. Don't know about other splits.

I was going to ask whether she might have the BC gene. In that last picture, her cheek looks to have light cheek patch.
Her color is very similar to one of my florida silvers (single factor florida fancy), though I think this is visually comparable to your isabel. There is quite a bit of variation in sf/FF, but I don't know if that is true for isabel, since the mode of inheritance is different. Also, if she were isabel, I don't think she could show BC, since I think isabel works to eliminate the black coloration.

Yes isabel looks like a single factor ff, but it does not show splits like ff.
BC actually does show on isabel, Vargur's birds are a proof of that
But I find her quite a different colour from my isabels, but I don't really know what to think.
Here are pictures of two of my isabel girls. This one might be alike the first one but she does not show any lacing in the wings like my isabels have so far. And I think they usually do?

She is quite a puzzle then! Perhaps only time will tell... Isn't waiting so frustrating!?!? She is quite pretty whatever she is!

Ég er hér
Hún er allavega voðalega fawn-leg.
Á neðstu myndinni virðist hún vera BC..
koma svona skugga kinnar.
kannski er það bara lýsingin..
En hún gæti verið eitthvað meira en fawn,
þar sem hún er hvít undir stélinu, a rumpnum og með ljósan maga.
kannski split ob.
Ég er ekki viss
