They are 13 weeks old and they're both supposed to be IB, but they look so different! Any idea why?
The one on the left has a pretty solid green chest, but the other one has brown feathers with light colored lacing.

OK, I took some better pictures.

You can see that the one on the left has white on the back of its head, and the other one is dark.

Now that I look at them closely, I'm begining to wonder if the one on the right is a male...

But its back isn't very barred...?

The primaries aren't very orange...?
And one more picture of the one with drab chest feathers and a light colored head:
