Yup, looks like an Aussie Pallid Blue hen.

EDIT: The head seems to have a yellow hint to it, is that my eyes playing up or is it environmental (rubbing on a toy / perch etc)?

I could be seeing things... lol

Thankyou you have been a great help at least now we know what color she is.....

But what would be the best color male to put with her?

Hello,

First of all, she is beautiful. She is a Pallid Blue also know as Blue Lacewing. Breeding it to any Pallid or split to pallid would give beautiful babies. In my opinion I would pair her with a Pallid Turquoise Grey male. I actually have a Pallid Blue male with a Pallid Turquoise Grey female. You would get the same babies that I do and here are the possibilities...

Pallid Turquoise Grey male x Pallid Blue female

25% Pallid Blue (White Head, body is light blue) *** like your girl***
25% Pallid Turquoise (Cream head, light blue body with yellowish/cream haze on wings)
25% Pallid Grey (White head, light grey body)
25% Pallid Turquoise Grey (Cream head, light grey body with yellowish/cream haze on wings)

Here is a picture of my pair the day I got them. You cant really see my Pallid Blue male but this is what a Pallid Turquoise Grey female looks like...



The Blue tinge to his head is because of the flash. Its actually pure white...



Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions...
