I thought that silver pied was a bird that was more than 50% white, so can someone explain what makes a bird silver pied as opposed to loud pied?

This is one of the great mysteries of peafowl. There are those that would tell you that the following:Silver pied = 1 gene White + 1 gene Pied + 2 genes White eyes = 112
Silver pied loud = 1 gene White + 1 gene Pied + 1 gene White eyes = 111
Okay. I didn't realize you could have a loud silver pied. Is this right? To be a silver pied a bird has the "silvered" look, caused by gray feathers, its not dependent on how much white it has? What I'm asking, is how to identify whether a bird is silver pied by looking at it.
