Lack of type is the most serious fault with the buff. For a non-bearded, she is pretty good, otherwise. I see some turquoise on her earlobes in the first photo.
The first set of cuckoos appear to be double gene barred (B/B); the latter single gene (B/b+). The latter ones also appear to be of better quality in other areas. WIth a B/B cock it is probably much harder to get a darker comb than with a B/b+. With any other variety that red a comb would definitely be a DQ. However, some judges know enough genetics that they will give a too red comb on a cuckoo more leeway than they would on say a buff or blue.
