Nice surprise when you finally get one you bred yourself, I’ve had a black cheek black breast this year as both parents carried bc , dads a black breast split black cheek and mums split bb and bc , I still haven’t bred a chestnut flanked white bc yet , that’s a work in progress lol
I think black cheeks are recessive so both parents have to be either black cheeks or carrying the gene. So for the last three years you've been breeding carriers of the black cheek gene and eventually 2 gave paired together and produced a visual black cheek
