Dark spot on beak ?

[ParrotGenie]

My male Wylie had this spot for months. I received him from a lady that took him and she didn't know how to raise a baby bird, but she wanted to save him and gave him to me, as breeders vet was going to euthanize him due to he suspected he had cancer when he was only a couple weeks old as he had a very large lump where his crop is, which is now gone. Parents rejected him. Turn out he had only a crop infection which I took care of and wean him myself and lump when away and had him tested blood work and whole nine yards and he 100% healthy. I had him for now 9 months, but the dark spot never when away. I was wondering what it is? He doesn't show any issues with it and can eat fine?

As wild cockatiels beaks are naturally darker than the lutino mutation, I wonder if its just a bit of the natural colour coming through? I'm sure I've seen some pet cockatiels that have some streaks of the wild colour in their beak.

Wylie is very cute by the way

I don't see a dark spot. I kinda see a Grove and that's usually indicates an infection in the sinus, even if you haven't sneezing or discharge. Since you said he had a previous crop infection I would have vet check that you don't have a lingering infection in the sinus...I don't have bifocals lol but need them so maybe I'm not seeing clearly

I mention this to vet as going to bring him in some time early next week.

He hasn't been sneezing or discharge and his nares are cleared.
