What colour is my Lahore?

[Lunadell]

I had an odd colour hatch from my pair of red Lahores this spring. Can someone help me identify what this colour would be called? It’s a lighter version of red and it is a male so I was thinking dilute, but his eyes aren’t red. Is it ash red, yellow? Are those colours even connected?

It looks kinda like a yellow, but a little dark.

Can you post a picture if the parents? the color in the picture seems impacted by the natural lighting but I'm gonna tentatively guess right now possibly ash red, but parent pics would help!

Here are the parents. They are just finishing their moult. The dad is the one on the nest.

It isn’t the lighting of the photo. His colour seems to be naturally washed out.

No no I mean the lighting making it look a little off from it in person, I know it's a lighter color the parents look really brown in the photos but I suspect they're recessive red, has either parent hatched squabs before? The baby might be yellow (probably not a gold) and might appear that not super yellowy color cause the parents aren't super red (I believe there is an intensity gene or something similar)

Yes, they have had four other babies this year. Three dark like them and one other light like this one. The other light one looked like it was starting to develop checking and bars. It looked really pretty. I will see if I can dig up a photo as they were sold as soon as they were weaned.

So this is probably some form of yellow with an intensity gene? Thank you for your input. I enjoy learning all about the fun genetics behind bird breeding!
