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.

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

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.

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

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