In the Texas clearbody variety, the color of the budgie's body feathers is diffused or absent, and the wing markings are dark at the top and fade to a light grey toward the tips of the wings. The standard for the Texas clearbody budgie is to have no color in the body feathers, leaving only yellow or white (depending, of course, if the budgie is yellow-based or white-based). The Texas clearbody can however, have some color in the body feathers of up to a 50% dilution. In this case the body feather color is stronger toward the vent and rump feathers.

These Texas clearbodies have clear body feathers and normal markings which fade to grey toward the wing tips. These Texas clearbodies are closer to the standard with no body color present.		These Texas clearbodies have diffused body color and normal markings which fade to grey toward the wing tips. These Texas clearbodies are not the standard since the body color is visible, more so toward the vent and rump.
