The coloring in the photo is awful but the bird appears to be a Double Dark Factor Pied Blue.

My first thought as well. I have one of these birds in my flock as a foster. My lovie Babygirl is a green series double dark pied and looks pretty similiar.

There are soooo many colors of lovies! That must be for limitless love for this breed!

I would guess Olive pied & Wf blue Australian cinnamon.

I would guess Olive pied
Olive is green series and the apricot colored brow makes the lovebird blue series. Slate (double dark factor blue) Pied is the correct mutation.

Linda, I didn't even know to
Look for the brow color. It was a guess. I just looked at the color & thought olive. Thanks for the tip...I'll remeber that!

Nomenclature (mutation names) can be confusing if you are not familiar with what you are looking at. A lot of mutation names are changing and I try to reference the one most commonly known in the US vs the one that most Europeans recognize. That serves 2 purposes. It makes me more familiar with the newer names, as I keep repeating them, and everyone else gets to see/associate newer with older, as well.
