Could anyone tell me which color is this?

My friend took the egg from the pen and marked it with number 7, pen number 7 is opal bs sp, i'm sure this chick not a black shoulder at all.
Closest pen is the cameo pen, do you think this is a cameo chick?

Or maybe a purple?

Thats possible too, but i thought mating cameo x cameo will always produce cameo chicks?

Now i'm confused, i don't have any india blues breeding this season, and every male has hens of the same color of the peacock. so i didn't thought i would get any india blues this season.

Ya just never know what will crop up when it comes to genes

Maybe there is a stranger in the woodpile, lol

Are cameo genetic mutations of IB's? When you breed them do you still have a chance of getting a certain number of IB's? I know nothing about peafowl genetics so I maybe way off base here.

I've never seen an Opal chick but maybe it could be an Opal and maybe the BS gene didn't pass, like your breeding pair was 50% Opal and 50% BS.
