I'm not sure off hand, what type of Zebra your hen is but I'm glad you started a new thread with this. You'll get more answers faster this way... as soon as the experienced Zebra breeders see this.  She's very pretty!

She appears to be a CFW. You can confirm and read up on the mutation here... http://www.efinch.com/species/cfwzeb.htm

..I think she is a little too dark to be CFW though I am no expert. I adivce you like Nagdabit said to read up on efinch. Could be CFW, Silver of single factor Floridan Fancy. A bigger, close up picture would help a lot

CFW don't sport the grey cap, at least not in any specimen I've seen or read about. Is all her adult plumage truly in? I have a CFW juvenile whose head is lagging behind in molting.
