As I had mentioned before LOL I am not very good with the mutations so I did a little research on several sites. A whiteface lutino (albino) (considered an artificial albino or sex-linked albino) will on most occassions have pink legs, beak, and red/pink eyes. That being said when searching the sites I did find a few (but not a lot) of references to whiteface lutinos with blue grey eyes. Some said this may be a cinnamon or pied coloration coming through from its breeding line. Either way they are not considered an albino but yes they do seem to be quite a bit rarer than a red eyed one. I really don't know what this amounts to when placing a dollar value on them and it would probably depend on when selling if you sold to another breeder wanting these characteristics or if selling to an individual wanting a pet quality bird, that just happened to be this color.
