Is this a seagreen gould?

I recently acquired a RH/PB/GB(supposedly /blue) hen.See my other thread "odd turn of events"(in Finch Chat) to find out how I got her. She is believed to be just over 2 years old, so she should have been through a few molts by now...
Her coloring leans very much to the blue side of green.You can see it immediately when you look at her. You can really see it when she is near another GB gouldian.
The red head is definitely different, as well...Not really like that "dirty red head" look(as Tiffany and others would call it),but between the red of a normal or yellow and the salmon color of a blue...
I'm wondering if it is seagreen and what is known about its genetics/inheritability?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
The pictures are not that good as I took them with no flash...The flash washed the color out, though you could still tell it was different than normal greenbacks. Without the flash, these pics are pretty true to color(at least on my computer).

I don't know much about the genetics but check out this site
