Heavily variegated Red Headed Parrot Finch X Normal RHPF and
Lightly variegated RHPF X Normal RHPF.

Thanks Mick.

Sounds like the pied is a dominant -sort of- with little or no predictability.
I've been looking for some RHPF with no success.

Yes, pied is regarded as a dominant mutation, when I bred pied to my normals, I only got a few white feathers on the offspring. If you take light pieds and breed them, you might get heavy pied offspring.
