The blue is the second one right? It seams like there are a million titles for each color!? Any thoughts as to the first one? It doesn't show up great in the photo, but its white with powder gray blushed into the feathers, a lighter shade then the blue one. Picture 5 and 6 are of the same bird...

thanks! My understanding of pied is that its an overly white tux, but i could be wrong, so i thought #7 might be one because its all yellow but has a patch on its head and a patch on the back and wings, but the neck is also yellow. I'm sure quail lady will know what i've got, I won't have a clue...
