Hi Hannes,at first i thought fawn longtail but its bill is the wrong colour.Imo,it's a longtail/black throat hybrid. Cheers Craig

Please do NOT BREED from it. It will undermine the purity of both species. Where did you get it? Aske for a refund, perhaps.

Its definitely a fawn mutation as the black is diluted.
