What mutation is this beauty?

Post by Feliburn » Tue Sep 13, 2016 7:54 pm

I recently got my first zebra finch today! She's very young as her beak has a couple black spots on it still. I bought the only all white hen and am now falling in love with her personality. I'm waiting to get her a friend, because the rest of the zebras were related to her. What mutation is she? She has a dark head, but she's mostly white. Her brother and sister were both standard grey. Thanks! (: :D

looks like a young CFW hen, as they molt they will loose the dusting on the head.
