Pardon me if this has been discussed before. I did look through the genetics posts and didn't see anything. There is a post about genetics of Bl.
My guess about the genetics of the cock used here as the fronticepiece is:
Mahogany (red enhancer typically apparent on the shoulders of birds with not a lot of red).
sex-linked barring is a no-brainer.
His breast is blue so without the Andalusian blue gene, Bl, his breast, thigh and tail feathers would be black. THis together with the "silver" hackles makes be believe he may likely be Birchen, E^R, at the E-locus.
If those are side-points on his comb he may be homozygous for pea comb (We have a number of P/p+ cocks with combs that look like that)
He has red and white ear lobes which might indicate mutt-ness (LOL!)
A lovely bird to be sure!
