TBH it's hard to tell from the photo! She looks like she's just a shiny yellow, other times it looks like the shiny bits are grey fluff indicative of snowy pattern. It's like that dang dress, only way, way more adorable!

Lol, only time will tell

Okay, I see a clear difference... the snowy ones look like they have silver highlights and they sure done have orange feet and an orange bill.

Snowy tend to have darker spots to their bill and silver eyeliner and sometimes silver stripes down the back. My snowy babies Usually look like they're wearing sunglasses.

look at the second pic where you can see its feet. The toes are grey tinged.

That's an interesting way to look at it! Here's my male Snowy when he was two days old!

I've been trying to compare his and her pictures together, to see if I can tell one way or another! Her momma is my Grey call and her daddy is either my male Snowy or my male Grey (the three in the picture are her parents, this was when they were two days old) There is Grey, Snowy, and White in her bloodline, so she could be a little Snowy or a little White!

in order for her to be snowy your white or snowy would have to be recessively carrying the dusky gene which makes them a snowy. If they're not carrying it, then they're not a snowy. White comes in dominant and recessive. Your bird might be dominant white.

I did not know that was how you got snowy's. So if I put my dusky grey with a white male I'll get a fair few snowy babies?

I'm sorry I called it wrong. Harlequin gene. I'm tired...
