Zebra finch question

I have three pairs of zebra, one is the orange cheek, the other is I think Isabel, and the ones that really have me puzzled are as big as the society and the female is solid white and the male is the orange cheek and just as big?

I have a male zebra finch that is like that, he doubles the size of the other zebras. The lady i got him from told me that he was an English zebra finch and that they were bigger then the regular ones.

Zebras bred over here for the show bench are carefully bred and can look huge next to an aviary bred bird.Selective breeding has increased their size considerably.
