Need your advises experts before buying this one

Post by haroun » Tue Apr 04, 2017 6:14 pm

Hi finchgurus, i'm seeking for a black face zebra, and my friend has found one on Facebook bit the ownet is at 200miles far. The owner show as pics of this bird and he said it 's yhe last. When i see pics i wasn' t convicted about being BF but i suspect a strong melanisation due to the lack of sunlights exposure or due to the wild molt used by some owner. In other hands i see other mutations like isabel, Bb make me trust him.
Please finch lovers need your help to make decision l don't want to make the travel and pay arround 40bugs for a presumed BF

It seems to be a black face all right, doesn't has white dots on his flanks, that is common to this mutation.

Hi@"Ricardo Ronsini" and thanks fo ur advise
But his belly is not so dark or get some dark even as z bad BF. the bf zone contains some white dot if you enlarge the pics.
So Ricardo you think it's a BF but a bad one.

Exactly my friend, it seems to be a real black face, but far away from a standard one.

Good day,

This is what a black face is supposed to look like, according to the experts....

Not being an expert on mutations, I would personally compare the two pictures, and go by that.
