I have three that look similar to that. i'll take pics and post them. They're getting darker on their heads now, so I'm a bit confused as to what color they are. Maybe we can get answers together!
 
Depending on age it looks like our coral blues do. The guy we bought them from said that the only way to tell the difference till they molt in there adult feathers is by the lines on there head. Something about the lavenders have one solid dark line and the blues have 2 dark lines with light between them?
Just what I have heard I am new to guinies and don't know for sure.
Here is a pic of our coral blues at 2 wks old. They are 5 weeks now and look alot to yours.

The dark one is a royal purple.

edited to add this pic because I think you can see the top of there heads better. He pointed out the difference when we got them. The Lavenders have one thick stripe on there heads.

Looks a lot like our lavenders.

bossy, I think you're pretty much right about the feathers. I think coral blue are supposed to have squiggly lines on their head? I forget. Anyway, I'm still thinking lavender, but she may be a coral blue.
