My birds with a single copy are considerably darker. If you look at the first photo of khaki's here: http://www.aviculture-europe.nl/nummers/09E05A12.pdf, it shows birds that are about the shade/tint of colour as my guy. My chocolates are a similar shade to the ones in the first & third photos. I do have some birds that are lighter and some darker among both colours.

Here are some other khaki (I^D/I^D)photos I have uploaded:

This little guy is chocolate (I^D/i+):

His adult plumage is much darker.

All the birds posted on here are dun, it comes from a funky grey color to dark chocolate, chocolate itself is a totally different color. It looks the same but is a sex linked color that will not produce the khaki phase, and for the most part, nonexistant in the U.S. Afew say they have seramas in chocolate, but I often wonder, due to how seramas breed (not being true to a color) Just how exactly they know 100% for sure that it is chocolate. Most all chocolate birds are still in Europe.

The above pics posted are of duns/khakis too
heres some of mine in quail colored d'anvers
