This is from that link....
"The green opaline has a full red head almost like a hood and a red-
orange tail"

The opalines have other characteristics, like it mentions in that
link, but the full red head is the most noticable and easily
identifiable. If the bird has the orangeface gene it will have an
orange head instead of a mask. If the bird has the whiteface gene it
will have a white head instead of a mask. Lovebird genetics are one
of the most complicated and hard to understand. Hope that helps.
