That's the problem with cross breeding.You can't tell them apart until they are colored out or you know where they came from.I am not a believer in cross breeding in peafowl and especially pheasants.
In N.H.,Tony.
 
Well with that last pic. Thats a spalding silver pied, note all the green in the neck, also the tight crest. Not sure by pic, but looks like barring on those few back feather if so a male.


About the yellow cheeks, if someone feeds alot of corn, will cause the cheeks to show yellow.
 
I'm not sure of the color mutation but they sure are BEAUTIFUL!

If I ever saw one running around in one of the neighborhoods nearby like that I would SO try and catch it!!
 
First pic, purple male, silver pied spalding male, looks like silver pied India male, and female on right.. could be cameo or purple pied. If she has shiny purple on neck then she is purple. If no shine on neck either wait until she is older... if still zero shine could be cameo.
 
Again Kev makes a good point, cameo dont have green or purple feather in the neck, same with blackshoulder cameo, where purple blackshoulder have a few purple feathers in the neck.

In the pic she looks like cameo,brown neck
