3 of 10. (Blurry) Wesley, my Crested Isabel

Drats, drats, I was trying but still haven't gotten a good picture of Wesley so I apologize for posted such a blurry one.
When I purchased Wesley, he was said to be a 2 yr old Crested Isabel. Thoughts??

I am very eager to get him a mate (thus my willingness to post a blurry picture) but would love to get opinions on the best match options for him.

And there you go, Janine is correct. A male Single Factor Florida Fancy aka Florida Silver. Looks very similar to some of our boys. Very handsome specimen you have there.

If your hen (Juliette) is not related she'd be an ideal mate for him. Or even a Double factor Florida Fancy (the white variety) hen would work as well. We just got a DF /Florida Fancy male from a pairing of two Single Factors, although his markings are kind of splotchy. Still a stunning little guy nonetheless

Thank y'all very, very much!!
I see it now, he looks exactly like a crested version of the bird in the second picture on this page:

This makes sense of all the information I had since the seller identified him as an Isabel and these birds have been called 'Silver Isabels' by Garrie Landry of Acadiana Aviaries in Franklin, LA.
