Mutation help?
I just brought my new lovie home yesterday, and am not sure of the mutation. It's really hard to capture the true colours in a photo, but in these the top tail feathers are much more violet in real life, and fade to a turquoise blue. There is also a dark line on the underside of the tail feathers.

Thanks everyone! Still unsure of a name, since I'm waiting for the DNA test results. Anyone have any ideas? She/he is the sweetest thing! Will fall asleep in the palm of my hand, and fly to me whenever I'm in the room

I like Frost & Artic for names as far as neutral names go... when do you expect your results?

Truly looks like a real beauty!

Congrats again.
