Mutative 'Clouded' Ash-Red Checker bred in 2010 by Manny Arquette. I first discovered and named this genetic modifying trait in 2008. Defining Clouded: Not translucent or transparent – hazy and unclear in definition, i.e. dull in overall color presentation of phenotype. Clouded and Marbled effect pigment in a diametric manner with Clouded appearing somewhat hazy. In comparison a Marbled phenotype displays a higher degree of sheen in the vicinity of the head, crop and shield.
