Ok so I know my boy, Beamr, is a yellowface II skyblue opaline, but I haven’t been able to determine whether he is a clearwing, greywing, or dilute, so I was hoping to get others opinions…

I know he’s one of them, but he just seems like a mix to me so I can’t figure it out…. I feel like he is a bit diluted in body color (Ithink) so I don’t think he could be a clearwing. But he does have dark violet cheek patches & white/light grey wings light wings like they do. So idk

But he also does have about a 50% diluted body color I think like greywings do & some very light grey feathers. He doesn’t have diluted cheek patches like they did though.

Lastly he seems to bright to be a 80% diluted dilute. although he does have their pale wing feathers. But he does have grey throat patches unlike dilutes. He also has violet cheek patches while dilutes have a lilac color.

So anyways I’m stumped I would love to hear others opinions!

I included some pictures of him below. (They have not been edited & also sorry they aren’t the greatest quality I just took them fast.) I also added a chart of different features of the different mutations if anyone needs

Same thing way out of my budgie zone on those mutations but looks more grey wing from examples.
