If i understand what you have said this is the probable offspring using ggf.



12.5% Male >> Unknown (Head) - White (Chest) - Blue (Body)
12.5% Male >> Unknown (Head) - White (Chest) - Green (Body)
25% Male >> Unknown (Head) - White (Chest) - Green / Blue (Body)
12.5% Female >> Unknown (Head) - White (Chest) - Blue (Body)
12.5% Female >> Unknown (Head) - White (Chest) - Green (Body)
25% Female >> Unknown (Head) - White (Chest) - Green / Blue (Body)

Hey Chris might have to wait for a molt, but its very light colour on the head.

Looks like a single factor yellow to me, but if one of the parents aren't yellow then it can't be. There is a recessive dilute mutation apparently but I haven't seen these in the flesh. Make sure you post us a pic after its first moult.
