I think I can see why you are wondering if pencilled. I don't really know. It may change some after the first moult.
Very cute though!

you stole my squab! No, but I have one right around that age with the same coloration. I would have called it a blue check mottled, but I do not know if this is correct. I have heard them called that, but who knows. There are ten to different names for the same color bird. Either way, it is beautiful.

that one should grow up looking like this: sorry it's blurry.
