Interesting surprise Japanese Bantam chick

[Amer]

I think this is what my weirdly light cuckoo chick looked like

Or I just have this in my camera roll for other reasons. Idk. I could have sworn it looked bluer.

Similar but different. My chick is clearly black based but the barring turned super light. It has a white head like your chick but not the bluish body.

I totally forgot to update you all. This is what the chick ended up looking like. Here is a picture of him. I also included a picture of him next to one of my standard barred cockerels.

Since then, I have gotten a few more chicks that look like the one above.

Cute!! So do you think he is a double barred blue? And that is why he had the huge head spot and the lighter back?
