strange zebra finch

[Bob Johnston]

Hi I am new to forum so would like to say hi to everyone first, I have had some zebras in my avairy with my turks and bourkes but had to remove them cause they were a bit of a hassle, I sold all to pet shop and decided to breed a pair indoors just for fun. I went to pet store and picked a white female whom is very nice bird i then went to second shop and brought a strange looking zebra male that is white with tear stripe, light fawn with spots on side and a yellow rump at first I thought the yellow was poo but had a good look at bird it it was definatley light yellow feathers, so i paid for bird and took it home expecting to hear the sing like a zebra but it didnt it has a different song the same as a charchol i once had, so my question is what have i got?, cheers Bob.
