Cream Legbars

Maybe I could get some opinions on this boy that is up for sale with a couple hens.

May help me get a jump on my own program, The Trio is a decent price.

Are there any other photo? From here his tail looks like it's at a decent angle, he doesn't have much colour on his wings which is good but his wattles look huge! But I think this could be remedied if matched with a small combed female with crest, I don't see any crest but the comb looks straight, I can't see well enough to comment on the spikes and blade of the comb but it seems fine. I would prefer him to be a bit longer in the back. I can't really see his beak but his legs look relatively yellow. Overall I think he's quite good but I am an amateur compared to some of the people on this thread, do you know how much he weighs and do you have any photos of the female?
 
Sorry only pic I got. He may be gone by this weekend. Wasn't ready for adult males yet. If he is still around in a week or two I might go for him.
 
I woke up to 5 pipped Jill Rees Cream Legbar eggs! I set 40 eggs. I'm anxious to see how many have hatched by the time I get home after work! Exciting!!!

I have 6 chicks out of their shells and another 6 pipped! YAY!!!! Hatch date is officially tomorrow. So, I was pleasantly surprised today!

If you don't take him, I am sure to have extras with all the cockerels that hatch around here...
I'm in Southern California, visit Sonoma from time to time.
 
Back to the discussion of color. Reading the original description of the Cream Legbar (see http://www.ias.ac.in/jarch/jgenet/41/1.pdf) , I wonder if its like the Jaerhon where the "gold" is a darker variety and the "cream" is a lighter variety. It could be that we get wonky colors because we are breeding for the dark variety in males and the light variety in females. Just a thought.

You are talking about down colors? or colors of the adult?
