Hello Pheasant/ Poultry Gurus and Lovers!
I greatly need your expert eyes and advice! Can you please help me determine the 'type' of golden pheasant chick that I have? It is 11 days old in the photo.

Is this a Red Golden? Or a Yellow Golden one?
Its siblings are all reddish brown in color. Only this particular chick is a lighter/ pale yellow one.
Its parents are both RG birds. Visually, scrutinizing the parents physical appearance, they don't looked like they're cross-bred or anything--they are appropriately sized for RGs, have yellow feet + beaks, no trace of metallic green on chest, or red on their crowns, not dark-throated, and don't have stains of L. Amherst feather colors --although I'm not so sure when it comes to their genetic make-up/ genotype.
Any comments, advice, and expert opinion is greatly appreciated and welcomed!
Thank you BYC-ers!![Smile :) :)](/styles/byc-smilies/smile.png)
