Forget about the mutation, that bird looks incredibly ill, possibly scaly mites on the cere, beak and feet.
Not to mention that cage looks tiny....
Is there an avian vet that you can take him/her to?

The purpose of this forum is to promote the BEST PRACTICES in the care of budgies for their optimal Health and Well-Being
Locating an Avian Veterinarian
Not only is that budgie suffering from scaly mites (which need to be treated using an ivermectin spot on treatment prescribed by your Avian Vet),
that cage is unacceptable both in size and hygiene.
No budgie is going to be healthy if it is kept in such unsanitary conditions.
The bird is suffering and needs to be treated by an Avian Vet right away.
Avian Vets have special training to determine the cause of symptoms resulting from illness or trauma.
This is important as "regular" vets will often overlook symptoms that are quickly obvious to an Avian Vet.
When you rely on anyone who has not had training in Avian diagnosis and care, you may be delaying effective treatment.
This can prolong suffering that may be avoidable.
The bird will often require a more intense, prolonged treatment with a poorer chance of full recovery than it would have if you seek prompt professional diagnosis and treatment at the first sign of illness.
If there are no Avian Vets near you, please find an Exotic Pet Veterinarian with experience in dealing with small birds.
