I purchased her last weekend she was with 6 other hens all from the same parents. Parents were similar in color although more yellow.
Any ideas on what she is?

My newness to canaries will show here - what's the difference between a 'variegated canary hen' and a Gloster hen? Would it be the size?
BTW - she's beautiful!!!

Gloster is a crested breed. Varigated is a color pattern also known as pied.

Not all Glosters are crested. There are both coronas and consorts.
