Looks like it's probably a mutation ("Cinnamon" or "Fawn)

Thank you for the answers.
I have hit this pages before but i did not find any iformation about the fawn mutation.
The Cinnamon and the Chocolate is totally different.
Is the fawn mutation exist in outside of Hungary?

I believe fawn exists in other parts of Europe as well. You may find photos of the fawn and other mutations here: Photos of silverbill mutations and others


Your photos are beautiful. I would like to include some of the photos you have taken of your birds on my website. Would you be willing to grant me permission to do that? I will include your name (and any other contact information you would like) on the photos.

Thank you.
