Yep. That's a problem with taking pics of peafowl, especially mutant colors.. the picture almost never shows how they really look. I used to be completely unimpressed with bronzes and did not even try to get them for years.. until someone was disposing of their flock and had some for really cheap.. thought why not? at least get to see it in person(nobody has anything besides blues or whites here)... when they arrived... WOW..... now one of my favorite colors. Opal is a very difficult color to take pictures of and really show how they look. I prefer black shoulder opals, because the males are a solid even color, way cool.

White seems female by size. Year old males have a huge and blunt spur, look at your male for comparison. The silver pied has a spur which happens sometimes, most hen spurs are small and skinny.

Congrats on new birds and getting to see new colors.
