This beautiful whiteface mutation lacks the orange cheek patch and yellow pigmentation. Mature adult males have a white face as opposed to the yellow mask typical of the other varieties. Some of the more beautiful combinations include the Albino (all white), Pied Whiteface, Cinnamon Pied Pearly, Pearly Whiteface, and several others.
Albinos are pure white with no color what so ever. Their eyes are red. In females, barring is visible on the underside of the tail. Cockatiels do not have a true "albino" mutation as they don't carry the BLUE gene. They are commonly referred to as "albinos" as they are all white with red eyes. However, they should more appropriately be called "White-face Lutino."
Silver Mutation: The plumage is a light, silvery grey. The eyes are red.
Single-factor dominant silver. Feathers are a darker metallic silver, with orange check patches and black eyes, feet and beak (except in pieds, which have flesh-colored feet and beaks. A skullcap of darker pigmentation is visible on the head.
Double-factor dominate silver. Same as single-factor dominant silver, except feathers are a light metallic silver.
