What Zebra mutation is this?

How's everyone going?

I was just wondering if one of the finch nuts out there could tell me what kind of mutation my zeb is? and also if it is male or female? as there is no cheek patches but the beak is kinda dark.

I'll take first bite with a silver charcoal cock.

No, where did it come from? I cant see the 2nd last picture properly. Its a Hen. Maybe its a Red Isabel Hen, the light is making hard to tell, need more info.

Definitely not a silver charcoal, and yes its a hen, and its a red series bird, and as AMCA 26 has said it could be a red isabel.

i go to the local pet shop sometimes just for a wonder around and there was this one and I liked the look of it so i grabbed it. I know the photos are a little hard to make out the right colour but the wings are light grey/silver with markings. at first i thought blue but i've had blues before and they dont look like this one.

I don't have much of an idea about zebras, but using a great little colour application on zebrafinch.info I think she may be isabel/red(orange)/black fronted?

Shouldn't it have clear cheek patches to be a red hen?? In the third pic you can see a trace of cheek patch but more like you see in a crap charcoal.

Be a poorly coloured red hen Danny. I had grey reds and had some that were very faint on the cheek patch for hens.

Not sure but what is this mutation ? Little orange cheek patches,grey back,white chest, tail looks like zebra ? I havent seen one that looks like this for years .
