Grey / Grey-green

A variant of Indian ringneck parakeet (Psittacula krameri)

Grey / Grey-green

Representative Indian ringneck parakeetphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

The dominant 'grey' (Australian dominant) factor mutes structural color toward dove-grey; on a green bird it reads as grey-green, on blue as a pure slate grey. A dominant gene, so only one copy is needed to show it.
