I am not Blackdotte but I can answer the question.
What you have is a blue cuckoo barred (silver) birchen. The male is heterozygous at the silver locus- he carries a silver and a gold allele. The birchen primary color pattern is making the bird much lighter in color than a normal black (extended black) and barred bird. You throw in the blue gene and you get a very light bird.
