Molossus any input from you ?

From :[Genetics-Psittacine] WG: Khaki March 2012

"Hi Tienie,

we have talked about it some months ago if you remember. And i was asking you the same question because your DF misty blue cock looks the same way as the EF khaki blue. Means grey blue body color with a glowing blue head (see attached pics).

If have tried to translate the mutation description for a khaki green:

The base color is a brownish-yellow green. The feathers and the central tail feathers are bluish light brown colored. A fully colored male has a black-pink neckring. The wing covers scaly shine greyish and brownish. The toes and feet are light colored, the claws horn color. The eyes are dark. Hens appear darker.

Don't know if a misty green is fitting the same description. I don't own misty birds.

greetings.

S. Adam"
