No, it is definitely orange.. Even Dante saw them..
Ok Dante, if she molts them out, i will tell you. I visit them at least once a week and so far she still has orange.

Okay, here's a comparison of what I'd consider orange. (as you can see, yours is just darker gray or beige)

all i know is that Cindy said a little while ago that the flecks of orange that i explained was a split to ob. Lux shows signs of ob, Gus shows signs of ob.

Orange in the inner wings and edged flights(hard to get on camera without it looking brown as well as the inner wings, and i can't bring my finch outside for natural light :oops: )
He molted out a fleck of orange in his chest he had about 3 months ago, and he is 3 years old, he also has a thin tear

Thank you :oops: I know i have been a pain! Lux shows almost every ob sign except for in the tail feathers. I have been having a weird time with tail feathers, Lolita is split to black breasted for sure but she has mostly normal tail bars, In this pic, the top one is from Lolita. Today i noticed that she has a couple like the bottom middle feather.
:) And Tahny has normal tail feathers but she has 1 or 2 like the bottom first feather

He has had 6 daughters(no sons haha) all were either normal grey or have splits. Not one was fawn. Maybe if i let him have one more clutch next year maybe, but i am starting to doubt it..
Here was the first clutch all girls, Lux has a thing for female babies i guess!

doesn't explain his unusual markings though. He's not normal, he shows obvious splits-just not producing the babies thought to be produced

Could you pair him with a different female with the mutation you think he has to see what babies you get?

No, i am unable to do that for a couple of different reasons. I am still living with my mother and cannot get any more finches. By time i can move, he will be to old to breed. :/
