I'm not sure...but her mom is a Isabel and dad is a Florida Fancy...

These pictures are a better look at the baby zebra. Maybe you guys can help me guess what she'll be.

Summer, she looks to be an Isabel. If it is a male FF the color in his cheeks and flanks will come out later.

What were the mutations of the parents of the zebra?

Whoa, the page is so weird. As I said earlier, your zebra is going to be Isabel/Florida Fancy. I'm pretty the baby is going to end up a male as well. Keep us updated when he fully colors out to be sure.
God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored. <3

The hint it might be a male is the lacing in the wings and that buff belly

he might look like this:(this is one of my male offspring from an Isabel female and a Florida Silver male)

Cindy, you are right! its a male. i can hear him trying to sing..its soo cute.. :D :D my only concern is he is raised by societies, will that affect his mating song with another zebra? what if his song sounds like his fostered dad ((Society))?
