The poult is black-based. The only possible sire is the Chocolate male, as he's the only one with a black base color mutation (BB ee).
Based on the color of the poult, it is a female (Bb e-) -> Barred Chocolate.

A midget white is a white Holland bred to a royal palm to make a midget white so therefore they should take after I would think the r.p. Tom in this coloring although the midget white has been bred to remove the black pin feathers my birds still sometimes have a few black feathers pop up from time to time here and there.
