This looks like a Mocha Brown Self. YOu'll know more after it molts into adult plumage.

you must call colors differently than we do. Never heard of a ginger here.

Very nice bird


One question she looks very slim and I was wondering if this is when they are young because I've noticed all mine seem to plump up and go broader at about 4-5 months but I've got one now I haven't bred and it's very thin so want to know if it's young also she doesn't seem interested in the dances either

This is actually a very old bird.

Really maybe they go slimmer when they get old aswell

Doesn't red-brown come from the same color mutation as fawn, or is there some other mutation at play? I've always heard society finches only come in fawn, chestnut, and chocolate base colors but other mutations can change the intensity; is this true?
