Hi also forgot to mention by looking at the colour of the feet and nails of the parents, I would also think that there is a possibility of visual cinnamon in the parents. That would explain the grey wash on these birds

Hi, if I remember correctly one noticeble difference between turquoise blue and indigo blue is the colour of the neck ring
Turquoise blue has black, white and red in the neck ring
Indigo blue has only black and white on the neck ring, no red
Hope this helps
