Looks like an orange head to me, but the picture is sort of dark so it's hard to tell. An easier way to tell in my opinion, rather than looking at the head feathers, is to look at what color the tip of the beak is. If it's red, you have a red head. If it's orange, you've got an orange head. Either way it's going to be a beautiful bird. :D

I can't really tell about the beak yet.... I was surprised to see these feathers on the head. Problem is.... everytime I think it is an orange, it turns out to be a red head. :roll: I have enough of them.

IF this is an orange head, then that means the other two will be and their parents are both oh/wb/yb. That would be great. Time will tell...... [-o<
They came from eggs that were found in the aviary and no one was sitting on them so I put them under the society finches.
