On my last post pictures are red and black mandarins. The same black male was in the all photos.
There are visual differences in males in the black mutation. Some have darker breasts, and some lighter (without brown). I have a darker males and only to such leave for further reproduction.
I'll show you the pictures. You can see the difference between dark and bright black mandarin breast.

This is a picture of my colleagues from France.

They are all black males,but one normal. For me is more beautiful darker ( that I have).
Peacock are you found the pictures of blond wood ducks?
