is my cockatiel a cinnamon?

is my cockatiel a cinnamon? presumably 5 months old. obviously pearl and I think split to pied too, but cinnamon? is the grey light enough?

My cinnamon pearl cockatiel was a taupe/tan color, not gray at all, so your cockatiel does not look like she did. But maybe there are versions of cinnamon? Or gender differences?

I don't believe this baby is cinnamon but he/she is definitely pearl pied though! Here's an example of a pearl pied (They usually have some grey to them). Also, females will lose their pearls after their first molt.

Actually it's males who lose the pearls.
I had a cinnamon male and now have another cinnamon male and both of them were very light grey color, definitely lighter than the normal grey.

thought as much but thanks for clearing it up. I just noticed my cockatiel had red eyes and read that neither pearls nor pieds reflect red eyes, but cinnamons do. if my cockatiel is split to pied that would confirm he's male. but the cockatiel in your picture has red eyes so idk anymore.
also thank you for the welcome lol

Yes, you're correct. I made a mistake while typing
