In my opinion, It is not an aussie dilute but it is something different. It is too light to be a dilute

I'm really not sure, but could the top bird be the lime mutation Don Crawford was working on?

Just confirming. Are these birds siblings? The RH's black ring is not affected. And neither birds chest colour is diluted in any way. Colour differnce only on back, rump and wings. Interesting and nice.
