He wouldn't stand still for the picture acted like I was going to kill him, sorry they are a bit blurry but you can see the coloring anyway.
Thanks Sonora
Ok Sonora he doesn't have khaki spots it's more like a male pattern collar and on his back. There are two roosters in the pen a black and the blue. The blue is the dominant rooster. So this is an off color his base color is white with the frosting of taupe coloring and I do see a dark not sure...

I have four 6 month old Buff Silkie roosters free to a good home they were hatched and raised together and get along with each other. PM me if you are interested thanks
