Rainwolf, that male you're holding appears to be a black headed redbreasted male to me. It takes them quite long to morph into their final adult colouring compared to the other colours.

hrmm.. he sure did change a lot since he was pure silver at 4 weeks of age.
this photo is shot through dirty glass but you can see I thought I had a silver female so I put my silver bibbed male in with him.. the "splash" is in the right corner

then he started morphing into the final photos and a boy

Like I need more boys...

Well one thing that has helped me somewhat, is that I noticed that the sexually dimorphic calls they make starts really early. Even when they are still peeping, I noticed that when I have an adult make a call, and they all call back, the young ones frequently have the charecteristic male or female pattern to their call in return.

Is it all right if i make a post for this forum using one or more of your pictures? I would do this:

PICTURE HERE

then in the description say: Picture by INSERT NAME HERE from: INSERT TOPIC LINK HERE
is it all right? if not I'll take it down. Thanks!

As long as you mention where the photo is from that is fine.
