I'm a new owner as well, so i'm not exactly sure - but my little guy has a normal coloured bear except for the tip of the top half which is basically black as well.
He seems fine enough, so i'm not worried about it..

that some how sounds a bit like a alexandrine ringneck, but it shouldn't be as the mutation is not likely to be a alex, compare your bird with google images of alex's. It might just be that your bird is unique, like how everyone person has a different skin colour.
