The male at the bottom is a great looking Florida Silver...you have an Isabel female, white wing edge is a split to pied. Very nice!!!!

Thank you so much for that, Cindy. :D Their parents, that I no longer have, were apparently loaded up with a variety of good genes. As for the baby with the white wing edges, she also has white spots on the top of her head, partly visible in the photo where she's facing right. Would that make her a little bit pied?

That would be split to pied...pied is recessive technically she is pied since pied is pass onto each of the young from either of the parents or both. The white wing edges, whithe under the throat, white on top ot the head is considered a split and those are her "markers" for pied. I have a few like that, I think they are rather pretty with the white on the wing edges.
