I think my eyes are playing tricks on me

Is it just me, or does this bird seem to have a grey head and a different color for the rest of the body?

Is the two colors normal for that mutation? I have never seen it in person, only read about it and looked at pictures online. Efinch says that fawn lightbacks look almost like regular fawns. Plus this guys cheek patches aren't the diluted color that efinch mentions.

Raleighwheels first time i hesitate betwe en agate and lightback, its white belly iq a mark of Lb,
Foe his cheek patches i agreed they're to much red for a regular grey so for a lb !
May be ir is a split for isabel, my splits heve red cheek than usual.

Thanks for the info. I live in an area where it is difficult to find many mutations of zebras, so when I get odd things popping up, I have to look at pictures or read descriptions online to find out what I have. I wish that there was somewhere to find clear photographs of every possible mutation and combination. Efinch is a good start, but there isn't everything on there.
