What color is this guinea keet?

Almost 2 months old now! Her initial feathering was white, but now she’s growing these dotted feathers in. Buff? Opaline? Something else?

Looks fully dotted, Buff and Opaline are Semi dotted.

Does look light tan. If it is semi dotted, I would guess it is a male Buff. If it is fully dotted, male Buff Dundotte.

I’m pretty sure it’s a female - it’s been doing the two note call recently

Then it isn't a Buff or a Buff Dundotte.

Reading description here, I'd think ivory but he doesn't show pic of keet. http://www.guineafarm.com/product/ivory-keet/
I'm not on facebook, if you are, look at Chi Chi Guinea as they advertise ivory, may have more pics.

Oh interesting! I did go to their FB page and am uploading some screenshots. They are in SE Queenland, Australia and haven’t posted on a few months so I hope they are ok. They post about a lot of colors I’ve never heard of. In addition to Ivory, which seems a lot like Cassiadawn’s keet, they breed Chocolate, Peach, Cinnamon, amd Periwinkle! Periwinkle seems to be a project they are really interested in, and seems like some kind of albino or amelanistic combination of genes.

They do have some different colors in Australia including a claim of a recessive white.

It's GORGEOUS!
You better guard it well, guinea-napping may be happening tonight.

Ivory certainly looks likely! I wonder what it actually is genetically?

Googling ivory guinea fowl, it looks like there's quite a bit of controversy in the Austrailian guinea fowl world, regarding what colors are "real" or not.

It looks like "ivory" is supposed to be a combo of chocolate and blue. But chocolate is also supposed to be sex linked, correct? I only have a trio of phenotypically pearl adult guineas. So to have chocolate visible, wouldn't my hens HAVE to show chocolate?
