A question for our expert AMCA:
do we have this mutation, or anything like it?

Looks to me like those in your first post are a combo of Chestnut Flanked White, which we have, and Black Cheeked, which I am unsure of, but would have to assume we don't have.

Would agree. Black Cheeks mayb a chance still some around but you be unlikely to get hold off any.

madhatter, you are correct that is what it is. I think I saw some black cheeks at a sale, so if I can might try and breed this mutation :?:
