Hello everyone! I recently purchased a pair of ringnecks and I'm trying to figure out what color the male is. I'm leaning towards Misty Blue but since I've never really seen one, I'm not 100% sure. Here are some pics...

I am not great with Indian ringneck mutations, however this website shows pictures of most of the mutations: Psittacula krameri . It does not show all of the possible combinations, but it might help.

Thank you guys and gals. @expressmailtome thanks for the link. That's honestly where I got the idea of him being a a Misty Blue. The only problem is that he doesn't look like the one in the picture there. BUT his flight and tail feathers look just like the Misty Turquoise Grey that they show. Im fairly familiar with ringnecks. I've just never seen this mutation, in person, before. I'll just stick to Misty Blue. Thanks again for your help!!
