I don't know much about cresteds and was wondering if someone could identify the morph of Herman. (I acquired him from my nephew, who never told me) Here are pics:

He looks like my crested, Yoda, but I don't know the morph. Yoda was almost black when I bought him, but has lightened up considerably. I hope someone with more crestie experience can identify the morph for you!

lol. Mine is probably a Harley too then- he looks almost exactly like LISA127's. I will try to post up a pic of him in a new thread when I get a chance. He hides in the vines though and is hard to get him visible in the cage.

Thanks for your input everyone! :)

As far as color, would he be considered yellow?

ETA: I was just looking up colors and morphs. Am I correct in thinking he is a blonde harlequin?

Blonde, or just harley, the colour part descibes the background.People usually just call yellow and brown/dark brown harleys just 'harleys'. The tag 'blonde' depends on how pale the 'yellow' is, hard to tell with the different lighting. Looks like he's also a partial pin too but hard to tell.
edit: pin = pinstripe, pinstriping are the solid lines that run down the dorsal stripe, there is also reverse pinning (lines running under the dorsal stripe usually darker)
