Someone post a pic of a "reddish-bay" eye please!

I'm trying to learn exactly what this is. And what is not favorable.

Thanks!

Hope you can see this well enough:

Yes, I can see it. Does it refer to the pupil or the iris?

The iris is reddish bay. That hen is a cross of Ameraucana colors, not a standard color, but I believe her eyecolor is correct and what is referred to as reddish bay. I had to ask this question a couple years ago myself. My first Ameraucanas, well, a couple of them, had darker eyes than they should, more dark brown.

Wow learned something new here today...I will have to check my girls' eyes as I am almost positive I have several with that eye color.

Hmmmm, my Ameraucanas have better eye color than I thought.
