Does your hen look something like this?

no, I should have been more clear. She's mostly white but has a bronze colored saddle. her head is Chocolate. The problem is that I can't capture the color of her "saddle" with my camera and it's frustrating me.

This is her. In every picture I take of her, the color comes out looking blue or lavender. Her tail and the saddle markings are the same color and its more like a lighter bronze color. I've taken over a dozen pictures of her and the color washes out each time. Its frustrating!

Lilacs don't have chocolate heads, they have lilac heads.

Here is a blue fawn from my flock what you can see is that the blue is diluted and the chocolate is diluted and turns fawn everywhere but the head, the feathers themselves have both blue and chocolate ( with one dilute gene) thus making the impression of these odd colors. This is one reason I love this color so much, they are stunning and interesting.
