I to agree with greg,they have the markings of a parson,And the body shape of a longtail,including a slightly longer tail then a parson.As far as i no they would be mules then?will be interesting to see if they are fertile and breed.

I once had a plumhead and parson breed.I gave them away to someone who wanted avairy fillers,i dont know if they ever breed.
