Hey, what's this cockatiel's mutation?

1)He looks cinnamon but I think he's split to pearl too because there are some things that look like pearlings on his wings.( male cockatiels loose their pearlings after their first molt but they regain it after some years). Look at this link and tell me if he's a pearl or no.http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeImage?AdId=9462118&img=http://kijiji.ebayimg.com/i16/05/i/000/87/67/b845_18.JPG.

2) The male also looks like he's split to emerald(olive) because between his wings I can see a bit greenish thing. Check this licnk and tell me if he's split to emerald ot not please.http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeImage?AdId=9431695&img=http://kijiji.ebayimg.com/i18/07/i/000/87/28/54ac_18.JPG

So, is he cinnamon split to pearl emerald?

Male cockatiels regain onl some of their pearlings not all of them.

he looks a lot like my cockatiel? is he getting ready to molt? because mine got pretty light in her feathers when she started to molt then the new ones are darker and she looks kinda different (by the way, my vet said mine was cinnamon)

Do you know what the genetics of his parents are? If so, that would make it easier.

My guess is that he is a Cinnamon possibly split to pearl or a cinnamon pearl. What color are his eyes, black or brown in the light? That will make ID much easier.
