India Blue/Purple Peafowl?

Both are hens, the lighting does not allow me to say what color although they look IB in this pic. Look for purple or green color on the back of the neck in daylight.
The color is not good in that picture, but there are purplish, blue, teal color in the neck. So do the adults get more color on the neck? I’m confused. IB, is that Indian blue?
 
A Purple hen will have a reddish or rusty brown appearance, the head will be darker and there will be purple iridescence on her head and neck. The sex-linked colors of Purple, Cameo, and Peach tend to sun bleach in the summertime. Also the evening light will tend to make any of the birds appear to have an orange tint as in this first pic of my Purple Sweepea hen.
