    I'm with Tim on this one, Karen.
    I have Slate babies and they look nothing like your bird.
    Not so say that it couldn't be some dark factor dilute of
    some kind, but I'm fairly certain that it's not a slate.
    The good news is that it's a beautiful bird.
    I've never seen anyone get these "beautiful mystery mutation"
    like you do. We could plan and try and still not come up
    with what you do!
