I might guess a fawn pied? are the white tail feathers completely white?

Looks like a split to pied. The wing edges top of the head indicate a split. Also the beak is dark and pink in areas indicating pied. Is may be a silver Isabel or NG. As it matures post more pictures here...it may show more markings as it molts.
