At first sight he just looks like fawn. But he could be split for silver.

greay and the back look to delicate for fawn... thinking cream-fawn? if there is such a thing? or carabel?

The contrast between head and back seems to be more than one would expect on a normal fawn. In theory you can not tell if a bird is split for something by looking at it. Though certain mutations do seem to have visual pointers.

I would say a poorly coloured Fawn.
Jaybird, Cream mated to a Fawn= Cream, Fawn young. Carabels i think are darker on the chest barring than Isabels.
