Looks like a fawn, it's definately not a silver

Silvers are readily available over here but i can't seem to find a good photo of them online other than above

I have a fawn firetail and mine is light brown. The same colour as a fawn zebra. This looks more grey than brown.

I do have a fawn hen and it is totally different from this cock bird, here are pics of both, that is why my confusion??

Not very clear but the difference can be seen.

I think the person to ask would be Wild Bill. He breeds various mutations of firetails and would know. Send him a PM.
