Thank you.Brown or reddish gold?
I believe it may be a DQ but can look it up. As he gets older he will only get more. He lacks melanizers, probably.
I’m glad you’re eager to learn and love to see people interested in the SOP.Thank you.
THANKS.Check out the Cochins International page for the male Cochin SOP. For SOP on colours you'll want to find a copy of the SOP book from APA/ABA.
For reference here is link for the 1910 SOP, the standard for black probably hasn't changed much since then

Okay, bronzing is a 1/2 to 2 point defect, but red or yellow in the plumage is a disqualification.
My birds are bred to the Standard and I will occasionally have male birds that at a young age have a mossy brown or red feather, these will usually molt out as the bird matures much like the white feathers they have as chicks. Give them time, if they persist into adulthood then cull them and keep only the solid black birds. By the way, what color are his legs and feet?
Best wishes in your Cochin endeavor.
Blessings,
