If you cross 2 different breeds it is called a crossbreed. But what do you call the offspring when you cross chickens of the same breed but different colours (that yield a non-recognized colour)?

Example: If you crossed a speckled Sussex with a light Sussex. It is still the Sussex breed but not a recognized colour. So what would you call it?

I hope this makes sense! haha! :)
 
Mixed variety Sussex maybe, or mixed pattern ?

I have produced a ton of them during the course of my Brahma projects, usually refer to them as off colored birds.
