Couple of questions

Is it from your stock? if not

Who did you get it from? and ask them what it is

Post a picture so we can see what you have. There are so many crosses out there it can be anything.

How old are the birds now? If they aren't mature, they will still have the juvenile feathers.

Reeves would know about the coloring on the Red's and Yellow's. I don't believe that there is any Peach in that class of birds unless someone has cross bred the birds.

I work with Ring-necks and Melanistic.

Weird way to get eggs, all mixed up. Crosses/mutations can pop out looking like, or close to what they sould look like.
So, when sold to unsuspecting others, they end up introducing the wrong blood into their birds. Not a good thing at all.
One wrong bird can ruin a life time of a breeding program.

Still boggles the mind why people do this.
