I know very little, but I had two lovies make babies (unplanned!) a few times and got interested in their genetics. It's amazing how recessive traits can just pop up out of nowhere with them! Had a regular green male and lutino female, who produced pied, par blue, violet, and cinnamon babies (as well as normal green) when we expected only lutino and greens.
There is a calculator online somewhere that I found helpful for understanding it too.

I think the calculator is on the African Lovebird Society's site, I can't make heads or tails of it and I looked through all the photos and couldn't find a lovie with feathers like mine.
You think she's a peach faced cinnamon lacewing then?

I ordered a book called the Colored Atlas of Lovebirds, hoping to get a better handle on this whole mutation thing. It's full of photos with different mutations
THAT SOUNDS AWESOME
Let me know if you accurately determine what your baby is
