I LOVE HIM! He is just great!
His colour has still got me scratching my head. He is almost a proper lutino, but there is just something else in there!

na his not a dilute, im pretty sure his a mustard rainbow lorie. the dilute dosnt have the yellow wings, there just a softer green. and his not lutino cause they only have red/orange down the front. so im almost 100% sure his a mustard (trust me, i know my lorie mutations ============================================= His a stunner sharkim007, i would love to get a mutation lorie (i want a dilute) but i cant stand the mess lories make unfortunatly so now iv got a conure, just as playfull. but not the same mess ;D oh and by the way, loooove ur shirt! ;D

I dont think he is a mustard holly, due to the pink eyes and body colour. His colour is not very similar to a mustards I have seen, I still think he has to be a sex linked recessive mutation. Possibly a lutino mixed with another mutation. I will not stop until I find out his exact mutation!! lol.

well the reason why I said dilute is because a true lutino would not have such vivid "lavender" in the head and abdomen and the tinge of green in his wings! BUt in the mutations being established in rainbows there is no set colours when it comes to all these different ones. There are about 3 different shades I've seen of dilutes and they were all so completely different. One was lighter shades in the blue on the head and abdomen, one was a lighter colour all over and one was more of a cinamon colour!!!

Still not clear after that reference Amanda! LOL. This one is confusing. Did you happen to email that guy at www.rainbows.com.au Renee? He may know better than any of us, I still think DH is a combination of 2 mutations.
