Spalding is the hybrid between the Indian Blue species and Green species. It's like a mule, but unlike the mule, Spalding peafowl are fertile. Since Spaldings are fertile, you can breed them to an Indian Blue over and over making it so Spaldings look closer to the Indian Blue species. If you breed Spaldings to Greens repeatedly the Spaldings will look closer to Green species. They are still Spaldings but they can look different. No matter how close they are bred to one or the other species there's still one or two things that are different between Spaldings and the pure species. Spaldings usually have a tight crest instead of fan shape like the Indian species. Here's a website with pictures of some of the varieties. http://peafowlimagedatabase.weebly.com/colorspatterns-start-here.html
