Probably indicating that Tort also carries a recessive aspect of the foot feathering.

Ash red chequer with grizzle. I'm looking for signs of blue, which would indicate a young male, but I'm not seeing any. That could change of course as the "flecks" do become more apparent with age. Leaning towards young hen though.

All of those little short beaked tumblers have really expressive faces. They often have cheeky personalities too.

This photo was taken in 2009 at Sandringham show. This is an African Barn Owl, I thought it looked similar, presumably another subspecies?

I'm saying that but any of those pairs could have produced that combination. If it turns out to be male then that excludes Pie and Ginger.

More likely Pie and Ginger which would make it a hen.

It has kept me occupied for most of my life now, I love to create new and different colour and pattern combinations.

Probably also pied and feather footed. At least one of them is likely to be chequered pattern but a spread parent could have given rise to the cheq pattern.

At least one of this bird's parents must have been ash red and at least one of it's parents must have been spread.

This is the juvenile expression of kite bronze on blue cheq. It also has pied factor, and some of the undergrizzle expression associated with that. This will basically be dark cheq pied when it moults.
