Buford Bronze Blackshoulder

Type of mutation: Buford Bronze Blackshoulders are a combination of the bronze color mutation and the blackshoulder pattern mutation.
Peacock Coloration: Bronze Blackshoulders have the typical, dark iridescent brown coloration of normal Bronze, but their wings are a solid brown nearly as dark as the rest of their body, rather than the typical lighter brown and white barring.
Peahen Coloration: Hens exhibit the typical blackshoulder white with dark splotching on their backs, although this splotching is more brown than black. They have a patch of dark brown and green iridescence at the back of their neck.
Do they breed true?: Yes, Bronze Blackshoulders will breed true.
