Identifying Black Breast In Fledglings

[MrMe3257 28]

My pair in the outside flight had three chicks two of which fledged today and i notice one's feathers around the breast area has black tips. The mother is Cfw and the father is normal but was produced from a bb male and a fawn pied female.

Hi,

Look at tail markings if BB the stripes will be vertical, only BB show this.

Hope this helps !
