So, I have a love bird that I got a few years ago and I don’t really know what classification to put him in. If anyone knows I’d appreciate your input.

Could s/he be Roseicollis/Fischeri hybrid?

I´m sorry I don´t know the answer, but I will tag someone who may know :)

It does not seem well defined, but if you google the mutation, the pictures appear very similar.

I agree with you.
I am looking in the Lovebird Compendium and the pictures of this mutation are the same around the eye, more grey than the white. Here, Dirk Van Den Abeele calls this mutation Turquoise.
So A. Fischeri Turquoise

I of course defer to him as he is a renowned expert.

Beautiful! He certainly resembles Fischers with dilute coloring. Hybrid comes to mind here, but a very pretty Lovie you have :heart:

@ElleReh as this just bumped my alerts , I will post a link to the information as I saw it online after I replied here. I couldn´t post pictures of the book as I don´t feel right doing that. But this info is published publicly online on his website.

Here is the link, On request: Blue, aqua and turquoise mutations in Lovebirds
Scroll down to PPR (Partial psittacine reduction),
And read the section ¨Turquoise¨ and you will see information regarding your (Fischeri) birds mutation.
The bird in the picture used at the top of the article is the same mutation as yours :)
