Hello Pheasant Gurus and Lovers! I need your Expert Eye Re RGolden Chick!

Hello Pheasant/ Poultry Gurus and Lovers!

I greatly need your expert eyes and advice! Can you please help me determine the 'type' of golden pheasant chick that I have? It is 11 days old in the photo.





Is this a Red Golden? Or a Yellow Golden one?

Its siblings are all reddish brown in color. Only this particular chick is a lighter/ pale yellow one. I've never had this color before in my RG's previous clutch.

Its parents are both RG birds. Visually, scrutinizing the parents physical appearance, they don't looked like they're cross-bred or anything--they are appropriately sized for RGs, have yellow feet + beaks, no trace of metallic green on chest, or red on their crowns, not dark-throated, and don't have stains of L. Amherst feather colors --although I'm not so sure when it comes to their genetic make-up/ genotype.

Any comments, advice, and expert opinion is greatly appreciated and welcomed!

Thank you BYC-ers!

Cheers!

Looks like a yellow golden chick to me. The Ghigi (aka yellow golden) is a mutation of the red golden so I suppose it is possible to get a yellow from red parents. G
