Could you help me identify this peacock's coloration?
I recently purchased it from another farm, but unfortunately, the seller didn’t have any knowledge about peafowls.
I suspect it might be IBBSSP, but I’m unsure because I haven’t noticed any WE traits yet.

That is a very unique and beautiful bird. He is a two year old, 2023 hatch. He shows almost no Hybrid blood. He is NOT India Blue but a color mutation, maybe Midnight, definitely not Bronze. That very dark green neck color evades me, I am not sure exactly what color but the reddish brown feathers on his wing should provide a clue perhaps after the next molt. Those feathers are also not barred so he probably is Black Shoulder but yet BS wouldn't have those reddish feathers on the wing. Of the three eye feathers only two show White Eye, one does not. Many of the immature eye feathers show they will be WE. Silver Pied will be all WE but yet the black color feathers would be gray if he were. So not a true SP with gray saddle feathers unless you judge SP by the percentage of White and nothing else. I would love to have a bird like this just to watch him go through the color changes through the next molt. So for me, he is an undetermined color mutation, Black Shoulder, heavily Pied, and split (at this time) to White Eye. Don't kill it.

Thanks, I really didn't have a clue, it's been years since I raised peafowl and back in the day( 1968), all I raised were IB..
..didn't have all the color mutations back then
