My Zebra and gouldian finches

I wanted to share some pics of my finches. Please let me know if you recognise any colour mutations. I am not up on the genetics of birds so any help would be great!

Lovely colour variations. Seeing zebra mutations always makes me want to get some.

Definitely keep that little fawn one with the white going through his wings. He's a beauty.

I reckon the dad could be the zeb in the pic below that fawn one, check out the white splodge on the head of both birds!
Its just the zebras you want identifying?

Yup, the grey pied zeb male in the pic (with the sploge on its head) is the dad and mum is the Marked white with him. They are the parents of the 6. There are 2 plain fawns a grey, 2 marked whites and the fawn pied.
