Hey all!

Got a small group of baby pullets, both orpingtons and isa browns.
The black orps are easy to ID, but the lighter colored ones I'm lost on!
I've looked up pictures of both, but that didn't help much. :P

Anyone have any tips on telling orps from browns?
I'd appreciate it, because I can't figure it out! Haha!
Thanks!
 
The one on the left is an ISA Brown.

Thanks! Just took this pic today and noticed that the light winged ones had two stripes on their back (under the wings) and that the red tipped winged ones only had one strip down the spine, if they had a stripe at all.
Was thinking I had maybe figured it out finally. :p
 
Buff Orpingtons are a consistent color all around. ISA browns may have streaks/patches of lighter/darker color
