? about more zebras

From what i have been learning I think the male is a florida silver and female is recessive silver/pied. Let me know if i am even close.

Your male FS (Silver Isabel)

You female is a silver pied. She may be a silver Isabel pied....they can have light tears, some have tears that fade and are ever so light against the body color.

As far as the recesive silver ID'in I am not positive on this.

I refer to efinch

quote:
"The Recessive Silver mutation is not seen very much these days or at least not that birds can be identified with any certainty and separated from some of the other dilute silver varieties (Dominant Silver and Florida Silvers). With the popularity of the Florida Fancy, the Rec. Silver is giving way to the Florida Silvers and I suspect that most birds showing this type of dilution these days in the US are Florida Silvers. It used to be that the Rec. Silver was quite common in colonies of Zebras"
