I'm trying to identify the genotype of this mongrel pullet of mine.

My best guess is that she's got Silver (S/-) and mottled (mo/mo), which would account for the eumelanin patterns, but what mutation(s) would be responsible for the pheomelanin here?

Mahogany can do that to silver columbian based hens, she seems to be heterozygous Columbian,


Amberlinks are Silver based Columbian(homozygous columbian), but carry heterozygous dominant white(I/i+).
 
I just saw this tag, and I'm going to be absolutely no help. I'm no good at coming up with a genotype from scratch by looking at a phenotype. :)
