A little surprise fallow.

I got a very nice surprise about two weeks ago when one of  my pet pairs unexpectedly produced a pink eyed chick. I thought cool ino! Then about a week later I noticed some dark patches on the wings and back and thought , hang on this can't be ino! Ok so it has to be lacewing or fallow.
Chick at about 8 days old.

Parents are both Australia yellowface full body greywing.

Now she is two weeks old and her cheek patch is pale violet. This means she has to be fallow.

Now I'm confused because her flights and tail are coming out white/pale grey.

21 days old.

28 days old.

She is now two weeks old and has visible violet cheek patch. That means she has to be fallow because lacewings have very pale cheek patches.

Is it possible she might be a greywing fallow?
