Lilac breast or just pretty?

[L in Ontario]

First pic - the bird in question is on the left
Second pic - in the middle
Third pic - on the right

Thoughts? Also, I'm not positive if it's male or female.

Looks like a WB SFYB to me.
if it were lilac breasted i think its Body colour would be dilute green like the one in the last pic (dad i guess).
Where as white breasted would show yellow body.
Also guess Cock bird.. Have you heard it sing?

I vote male too. A pretty fellow at that. I have a similar bird, with a powdery pink breast. I was told my male was a WB as well.

they are lovely Liz...very pretty. I don't know much about gouldians but I know a pretty bird(s) when I see one(them).

I'm going to go with a BH.WB.Yb male
If it were a SFYb I would think you'd see more blue ring around his head and not so bright white of a chin.
The breast may be what they call a dirty white breast which after the next molt may go white.
Pretty birds

Lilac Breast acts just like White Breast not Purple Breast.

I don't know anything aout gouldians, but I can see that he is indeed, a pretty bird!

Thanks. I understood dirty whites were uneven in colour, splotchy or streaky.

[lovemyfinch]

Whatever the colour he is georgeous

[Mynard]

Have to agree,lovely bird indeed

[annague]

Maybe he/she will pass it on... wouldn't that be cool! It's hard to tell the powder pink from the pictures (too much glare?) but he/she's a gorgeous bird!

well I see something different than the others...
Looks like a BH LB yellow hen to me Very pretty bird.
What are the parents?

That's what I was thinking as well Candace.

Her parents are:
C = RH-B,WB,SFY-B + YTB,PB,YB

However, I bought this YTB,PB,YB (mother) and 4 other hens at the same time from the same breeder and 1 of the other hens has given me two silver chicks. I only point that out because the breeder swore up and down that the hens were not split for anything.

[CandoAviary]

Hmmmm.. my bet is they are split for LB and BB
Don't you just love surprises

[6finchfriends]

Beautiful!

I have a BB that had a little bit of light purple/lilac in its breast, so I thought it was somehow lilac, but it molted to a nice clean WHITE. No hint of the purple/lilac that was there before.
