Nixity/Debbie 276 Desparate for Gouldian ID

I was showing Rocky as a YH.WB.DFYB, because he has a WHITE CHIN & NO COLOR BAND ON HEAD.
I have him paired with 1GbbB who is BH.WB.BB.
But according to their present clutch (see pics), Rocky must be a YH.WB.SFYB/b (single factor Pastel? split to blue) But being a SFYB is he not supposed to have a grey chin & turquoise head band I'll show Rocky first & then the clutch.

clutch hatched 12/3 looks to be 1 white, 1 blue, 2 yellow

A YH.WB.DFYb/Bb with a BH.WB.Bb will give you
male that are:
SF Pastel Blue which will visually be white bodied because of the WB
SF Pastel/Blue which will visually be yellow bodies because of the WB
and your hen chicks will be:
Pastel Blue which are visually white body
and Pastel/Blue which are visually yellow body

To get Blue and Normal chicks he has to be SF though I'd wait till the chicks color up more before deciding that is so.

Nice looking group of birds
best of luck
