Maybe I DON'T have a moustache ????

Ok, Lilly is at least 6 months old and still has the same coloring (green) she did when I brought her home, she has never had a red beak, in fact it is just getting darker and darker.
She doesn't have any of the coloring I see other's having, I know someone said after first molt but everone else's that I see has a red/orange beak.

Yup looks like a Moustache. My Charlie is about 10 months now and his colouring isn't a brilliant adn some of the others I have seen. His beak is red ontop and black on the bottom. Other than that, he looks just like your's. Very cute, that is.

The beak color depends both on sex as well as subspecies.

You have a lovely little girl!

Yep. The orance beak is associated with a male as well as some of the more vibrant coloring.

As your baby molts, the feathers will become more vibrant and shiny looking.

This is normal for most of the ringneck species. The babies feathers are not as shiny but will become that way if fed a good diet and as they molt into adult feathers.
