the male is likely a BB lightback not orange breast.... when you combine the lightback with BB you get diluted cheeks flanks. If it was a BBOB the breast bar would not be a black but orange... orange and black conflict and orange wins.

The hen... could I see more of the from of her and her sides... it looks like she may have ghost flanking but the bars on the cage are covering it a bit. The top tail feathers look like they are missing

the LB male if not paired with a visual LB hen will only give you visual LB hens and split to LB males. If you want LB males and Females you need to pair him with a visual LB hen, or to make young like your male you can try to find a LB hen split to BB or a LBBB hen.

Fawn hens if not paired with a fawn or split to fawn male will only give you gray hens and gray males/fawn
