See the attached pictures. Can someone help me understand the
color of the young bird--white with wing extended. I also
attached a picture of the parents.

It is spread ash red, which has several expression depending on
what other factors are present. I get the 'mealies' in birds
that have a smokey or sooty or dirt factor (I dont know or care
which one). If a dose of rec red/bronzing were added to that
bird it would likely appear as a mahogany or what is sometimes
called roller dun.

Both parents appear to carry indigo. If that is the case than
homozigous indigo is posible and this color would be caled "ash
red mimick".

Clint,
The hen is a blue lace bald white flight from my 2010 A-team.
She is off a blue lace bald cock and his grandmother, a spread
ash red self (lavender). this pairing has produced many good
birds for me...even an 80 footer! The cock is a spread ash red
(lavender). There is no indigo in these birds. I would guess
this youngster is spread ash red........spread ash red has so
many expressions depending on other factors that influence it,
like wishiwon said. And the reduced may be playing a role in the
expression as well...let's hope it rolls like its aunt does!!
LOL!
Cliff
