Hi folks, I have a couple of boys that I would like some opinions on color. I wasn't sure if I can post this in here, but....

This is the oldest boy, He is a Serama, and about 4 mths old. Is this blue? And is it barred, cuckoo, creole, mottled? I know these guys are not truly color bred, so maybe he is just a mix of it all. His father was black with almost a brassy back look, and mom is black (solid). Dad does carry the chocolate gene as I have 2 chocolate pullets from the same pair. The younger boy has the same look as this guy, but he got some red in his saddle and wings, and a bronzy look to his hackles.

Any suggestion is appreciated. I recently separated the two boys as they got into a scuffle and this one has some marks on his comb, but now he is in a pen with his future ladies and quite happy. These aren't great shots, but he kept trying to run back to his girls. His dad took a Best of Breed recently, so I hope to be able to show this guy (Tucker), but I need a color. Thanks again!

Looks barred. Blue is more of a solid color...sort of, they don't have stripes.
 
Thanks. I actually was leaning toward cuckoo, but barred wasn't out of the running. The solid tail made me thing he wasn't barred. But his base color is almost a gray is why I thought maybe a blue ?whatever?. Any other suggestions out there?
