Columbian silkies?

[Birds & Eggs]

Would these birds be considered Columbian??? I have had no idea what to call them. I have a bunch of these colored birds. They are absolutely breath taking in person. The pics really dont show their color. They have more black than the pictures show. The tops of their crest are grey/blackish and both their tails are grey/blackish with a white body and grey/blackish mixed in on their hackels and wings. Guess I should have used a different color backround. We have a pair of these for sale on here, if anybody wants to work with this color. These came from a pen of buff hens and a lavender cockerel. I just love this color but we have soo many of them. Here is the link-- https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=577370

I have 3 cockerels that are columbian with barring in the tail feathers, so I guess barred columbians would be the name to call them. These came from a Cuckoo X Partridge mating which resulted in the barred columbians and I also got some barred partridge(crele looking birds, which was my goal). The BC(barred columbains) were a total surprise to me, but I suspect they will have issues with comb,skin, and leg color, being to red.
I have 2 pair setup now just waiting for eggs, and then to be transported to the spa house...LOL
