Nice looking birds. The orange bodied birds really throw me when trying to figure out what they are. So....what are they? I would guess some form of phaeo but I don't think I am right.

Thanks. The orange breast black breast part always throws me off, would think they would have one or the other but not both. Is the FF involved in creating the phaeo mutation?

Do you see any of the black breast black cheek black face down there?

A phaeo is just a florida fancy black breast.

They look good Alex....can't wait to see the full extent of the orange when they are finished coloring out.
