Ok I bought this female as a striped redtail. She definetly has a stripe and some of her babies do too. She was bred to a normal male. There is one baby I forgot to get a picture of but it has a stripe like the first baby picture just longer, about 4 or 5 saddles long. Then the last baby you can see has some zig zag stripes and is a lot redder than the rest.

Looks like an aberrant BCI to me. I have a similar male that I bred to a normal female last year and got a mess of babies, half of which showed aberrances. The male I have is about 75% striped. None of the babies came out with that much striping, but some. I think it is probably genetic. I don't know the history of the male I have, so I suspect it is one of several lines of "stripe or aberrant" floating around out there that are either named or unnamed, but I have no idea which. I'm not one to jump to the "name game" and put a name on the ones I am working with. In my setup, they are labled as "probable GA". I want to see what a couple of generations of line breeding, and more out-breeding tells me. It could be that yours and mine are of the same line, who knows!
