I'm with Misso...it's an AY (heavily marked). My Uncle had a similar story with a pair of "normals" that have just thrown out their first recessive mutation (White Breast) young after almost 30 young. He is 100% sure of the parentage as they are the only cock & hen in that avairy...so it does happen with receissive mutations that after a heap of young a recessive bird is produced even though the statisticians on this forum would argue the chances are 1:4 to produce a colored bird from a pair of splits.

A nice looking bird...pitty you don't know who the parents are as it would be worth while crossing it back to mother/father.

PS: You now have a heap of possible split AY sibblings on your hands

cheers

Must have been the "red eye" effect in the first photo. Because it has a normal eye in subsequent photos. And too much colour, for ino. But very white.

Thank everyone for helping me understand the phenomenon of the Australian Yellow.
