well a "Cuckoo" bird should be based on a Self Black bird(Extended Black, or E^R) if based on wild type e+(think Black Breasted Red) they are called Crele.
the difference so far from Cuckoo and Barred is other genes not the Barring gene(B) which both have, what makes sharper barring is the Slow feathering gene and the Columbian Gene(Co, which was able to segregate from Show Quality stock, but not from hatchery stock, meaning you can have a "barred" bird without Co but will not be as sharp)
