Was wondering about the possiblilty of dilute blood from the colouring in the first posted pics. 2nd posted pics lighting made it too hard to tell. If he was a budgie he would be called a flighted pied. Most pieds I have known do not throw true to markings unfortunately. But good luck I really like him.

Can you see if you can put a photo up for us to see, that'd be really good in knowing what it is, thanks

Interesting zebra. Reminds me of the clear wings in gouldians.

I used to breed saddlebacks and occasionally would get a similar colouring to this when bringing in normals to increase size.
Didn't try to fix the colour as not what I was aiming for so can't tell you if it's a new mutation or just a variation. I think even the saddlebacks are more a colouration of pied rather than a true mutation.
