Not that I know of either, but I reckon it would be one mutation which would look truly fantastic. Buttercup yellow body & bright red head & tail.

My thoughts exactly Tiaris.
Rekon it's a good thing that hybrids with BFPF are infertile. Else some unscrupulous character would probably have manufactured a Lutino RFPF by now...

if you got a full-bodied pied I suspect it would look a lot like Tiaris's description.

yes, but the yellow on pieds is more a lemon yellow whereas lutino would be bright buttercup yellow & red would be extra intense at least seem that way.

Ok, just wondering.
But if this mutatuon exists in BFPF, why does not exist in RFPF or even in the Tricolor parrot finch??
