Help identifying lovebird mutation?

Any lovebird breeders or experts in lovebird mutations, I need some input! Odd question perhaps, but I am a clay artist specializing in parrot jewelry, and I have recently sculpted a lovebird that was based on a photo of a customer's real lovebird, but neither the customer nor I knew what the "mutation" name or type of coloration of this particular lovebird is. It is a lovely blue-ish green, with pale peach and grey around the face. Based on the searching I did online and comparing pictures, I am thinking it could be a "Seagreen Peachfaced Lovebird" but I want to be certain since I will be selling the clay version shortly and want to label it correctly.

So, since I am just not sure, I thought I would come over to this forum and see if anyone here familiar with lovebird colorations could take a look at my clay version of this lovebird and tell me what you think this mutation is called (that is, if this were a real lovebird )?

Thanks in advance for any input!
