Here are some picutes in my photo album of my finchs. I bought them as a pair of zebra finches but only the male ended up as a zebra but i can not figure out what the female is

She's likely a zebra finch also. There are many varieties and colorations of these birds, and she just doesn't have all the zebra markings. I once had a totally white zebra finch!

Yours are really cute!

She's likely a cross between different kinds of finches. Below is a link to a really good finch site that has lots of pics of different mutations, both male and female. We bred a male zebra with a fawn cheek female and we got 2 male zebras and 2 female fawn cheeks. Each one looks different and none of them look exactly like either type exactly. I believe that's what's happened with this female. She almost looks like our crossed females. Hope that helps =).
