Sorry the resolution is low- messed up saving the file trying to reduce the size. I'll get the hang of it eventually. She's my 02 female that I'm slowwwly growing up.

The female Mandarin came from Robert Seib out in CA. She does have a red tinge (I picked her due to it). The male (also from Robert Seib) I plan to pair with her is very aluminum grey but I don't know if one color phase muddies the other and I like them both. Here's the male though he's going opaque for shed. You can see he's got no red at all and has some nice yellow. Very clean pattern too. I'll post a better pic once he's through shedding.

Here's a better resolution pic of the female for comparison.
