A white ground isabel would have deeper brown striations than this canary. I have a couple gold brown isabels.

I think either silver agate opal as rebekah said or silver opal isabel. I saw an opal isabel recently. Could be that.

If you look in G.B.R. Walker’s book “Colored Canaries”, on page 82, there is a picture of a Recessive White Agate Opal. I think this bird looks very similar to that one. From the above angle of the picture, it does not appear to have the red Isabel eye.

It would be interesting to know what it was mated with and what came from those matings.
I would say it is a double resesive Silver Agate Opal.
The resesive agate markings are very clear and i dont think there should be any doubt about that.
Then the grey opal markings are also visable but very diluted, from there the double resesive comment.
Thanks

I several of these birds, mine come from a Agate X Opal breeding that are resesive white carriers, I got lucky and last year got 1 male and 1 female , these year I have 5 so far, they are beautiful birds, Some breeders call them Silver resesive opals, others add Agate to the name.

According to the NCA; Section 1 All Opals, class 09, this is a silver agate opal recessive. I have a few of them myself.

Don’t be confused on the term agate opal and opal. They are two different classes. The agate factor has flesh beak and leg while the opal factor has dark beak and dark leg. I’ll be happy to share some information if any one interested.

There is an exception to the light legs and beaks on an opal according to Walker on CanaryGenetics101. If an opal carries both agate and brown, it can have the light legs and beak. I had such a cock and when he threw fawn hens when bred to an agate I was very surprised. If he were an agate opal as I thought, all his offspring should have been agate. One of the fawns won Best White Ground Melenin at the CCC show so she was truly a white brown not an isabel.

There is a distinct difference in the beak, leg and toe nails just as the melanin pigment. It would always be slight darker than the agate version. Just because we don’t have quality, we get used to seeing the flesh color. However the beak can be as light as the agate but the leg and toe nails always be slight darker. I’m very curious, if more peoples are interested, maybe there should be an all opal club too.
