strange rosy mutation

This is our little runty. His feathers are beginning to come in. He has grey flight feathers and very little pink on him. We have looked around and can not find any other mutations like him. Our Bourkes bloodline stems from the Dutch and German strains. Has anyone ever seen an almost all white mutation like him?

Yeah I'm going to have to agree. Seems that white one is runty too. Perhaps this is a weak genetic strain. Could explain why mama abandoned him.
