I think they are either fawn or cinnamon but are not nearly yellow enough on the back to be both. The spots are also too well defined for them to be yellow-bodied as the double dilution of both the fawn & cinnamon mutations usually makes the spots very faint indeed. Not trying to deflate you, just being honest about what I believe you have.

My question was exactly because of this: those star finches are not yellow body.
A yellow star finche as the yellow of the abdomen, all over of is body. He is yellow from head to toe and has you see, their back is not yellow but it is pastel-green.
The description that tiaris made is most accurate...

Sorry I stand correcteted I thought they were Yellow Bodies.I am not really into mutations.

seeing they were bought as yellow body red face stars and unfortunately there not - looks like there up for sale

Anyone got pix of Yellow-head Yellowbodies . .

Or are they still 'in the pipeline'?

I saw one in the Hunter Finch Club journal a few months ago.
