Identify these Bantam Breeds

I believe the rooster on the top with the OEGB hens is a gold necked Barbu d'Uccle. The less round appearance, upright stance and tail type all say d'Uccle to me. I agree with others that all the girls on the top are OEGB.
Cochins on the bottom appear silver penciled, Columbian and what I thought was a dark brahma bantam hen, but looks like it has a straight comb, so now I'm thinking silver penciled cochin, but she should have more foot feathering.

A gold neck d’uccle would have a beard and would not have any black feathers (gold neck is the same as mille fleur except with dominant white, which covers up black). The rooster pictured has a black tail and an overall mixed coloring.

I was just guessing on the d'Uccle. I don't know anything about gold necked (obviously). I only have Millie, porcelain, self blue and one little butterscotch hen. I wonder if a gold neck/Millie cross would get this kind of coloring.
Thanks for the info. Always learning is a good thing.
