What breeds are my peachicks?

So two years ago my pied peacock was attacked by a dog and never made it, he had been living on my farm when I moved here, so I’ve never raised peachicks. Fast forward to this year, I bought a peachick and a baby guinea to keep it company, and then ended up getting another peachick at an animal sale the next day. Both chicks were sold to me as purebred India Blues, but the first one I bought has a little white on the wings, and I’m wondering if it is maybe a pied? The first 3 pictures are the one I think might be a pied, and then the last 2 are of the second chick I got for reference, and then the last picture is of the two of them with the guinea.
Also, a little side note, I know they are still really young but I would love any guesses on what genders they are.

India Blue and India Blue split white, would be my guess. ;)
Let's tag an expert, he's pretty busy but he knows all this. @KsKingBee
So if it is a split white, what would happen if I bred it with an India blue? Im not very happy, I made sure I got purebred India blues so I hatch and sell my own purebred peachicks. Ugh

If you have a male and female and you bred them together you would get all India Blues. Split to white means you could get a white bird if you breed to a white bird. No reason to be upset. :thumbsup

Thank you so much, I didn’t care much about what they looked like, but I wanted to make sure I got India blues to sell in the future. Peafowl genetics are confusing.
