Female vs Male GCs

I was looking at Kira as I picked her up today and noticed (not for the first time) that she is slightly differently colored than Archer is. She's more of a yellowy green, compared to his emeraldy green, and her flight feathers are growing in more of an aqua color compared to his dark turquoise. She also has some tiny red and yellow feathers on her wings, between her shoulder and her body, and more red coloring on her tummy, as well as more yellow in her scalloped "bib". Aside from these small differences, they are identical.

Since I only have one male and one female, I don't have any others to compare their coloring to. Anyone else have a female that they can compare Kira to? She's beautiful, as is Archer, but it was just something interesting I noticed. :)

You should see if you can get different pictures gathered up to compare! Of course, the coloring for pictures would be hard to determine... I am interested if you may see any other differences... Maybe someone here will have a better reply as well! LOL, no GC here!

I'm afraid most of the color differences are those that are not captured by a camera. In their pictures, you can see that Kira does look more yellow-green, and her tummy is more red, but that's about it.
