L/Billy is lovely anyway.
Does he show off, singing and spreading his wings out? My boy does that, I don't know if the girls do as well though

lilly looks male to me, my sis breeds them.
the yellow heads/grey depend on which parents you pair up.they are just different genetic versions of the common grey and pied.

Females have mainly grey faces with only traces of yellow around the beak, eyes, and forehead. Their cheek patches appear duller since there is a wash of grey over the orange and their crests are grey. They have yellow spots on the underside of their flight feathers and conspicuous yellow and grey barring on their tails. After their first molt at 6 to 8 months males lack the tail barring and the flight feather spots but have a bright yellow face and “bib.” Their crests are mainly yellow with grey only at the tip. The cheek patches are a bright orange since there is no grey there to dull them. The white wing patch is immaterial when sexing.
