Hi, I have a male and female pair of zebra finches. I was wondering if you could tell me what mutations they are. Thank You.

They look like they are pied. Hope that helps :)

I thought the male is pied but I thought the female was split to pied. Can you tell if they are split to anything?

The female is split to pied and so is the male. They show split to pied on the top of the head, wing edges and under the chin.
