Isabel or Pastel Star?

Post by G8love4finches » Tue Apr 12, 2011 6:44 pm

This is my new little Star....The father was a "yellow bodied" star and the mother was a regular RH Star....Would this one be an Isabel or a Pastel?....I don't think it is done the juvenile moult yet?...You can faintly see her spots on her chest....There were 5 babies in this clutch, three were light like this and the other 2 were normal colored.
