Pieds and a Penguin!

Yesterday I bought 2 pairs of 4 Pied Zebras from a local breeder that lives close to my area and I then spotted a beautiful female as she had all white underneath her and all gray on her back side so I chose to also purchase her from the breeder that was selling them which I've bought 5 of them for the reasonable price of $20. I'd really like to know if the Penguin Zebra Finch female is a rare kind.

Penguins are difficult to find, at least here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I have some but want a new bloodline, and have had trouble finding them.

Beautiful Zebras. The first pic looks like he has cottonballs stuck to him.

Thanks but I'd still would like to know if the Penguin female that I discovered and purchased from the local breeder is a rare variety.

I'm not sure if your penguin female is rare or not. It would help if I could see an actual picture of the bird. The one you have is from efinch.com. I have seen some penguins that are a little lighter in the gray area, and some that are a little darker.
