Mutation help

Question
Hi, I just recently got a cockatiel thinking it was Whiteface Lutino, but it turns out that he is not Albino. He has a beige tan on his sides, wing feahters and tail. He does not have red eyes, however, his eyes appear red on the camera. I also live in Canada. I thought he was a Platino, but then one person told me that Platinos are only in Australia. I would really appreciate some help. I have some pics of him on PhotoBucket, here is a link

I have done lots of research, and i have got to the last 2 mutations that i think he can be. Dominant silver double Factor or Platino. ( note: Dominant Silvers have dark beaks and toes, so i can be wrong about that since my cockatiels doesnt have dark feet and beak)
