New at this, so if I was supposed to but this in an existing thread, I apologize.
Looking for assistance with this 5 mo. old peafowl. What is it? I can get more pictures if needed.

Yeah new pictures show cameo. If you got it as part of a "mystery box" group of chicks that is fairly common. You won't get anything interesting out of breeding her though unless she is bred to a cameo or peach male.
 
Pics on the internet seem to never be true to color. Here is a Cameo hen of mine a yearling hen. View attachment 3297224
I think alot of it is what time of year you're taking them too and how far south you are. A cameo or purple in texas is going to fade much more quickly and to a greater extent than a cameo up here in the upper midwest just because the sunlight is stronger.

Peach, Cameo, and Purple fade a lot under the red-hot Kansas sun. When the new feathers start to come in it can be quite dramatic.

The Cameo Peafowl are really pretty; had no idea they existed : )
Certainly cannot find them in Australia
