is the white we see in his earlobe true white coloration or light reflection ?
gorgeous copper ,complete body pattern and well colored and feathered legs . legs not too dark .

The white on earlobe is not the color of the lobe, more like scab/healing skin

Why are the Pullets feet so much darker but the males not so much?

great new .than he is good to work with . need some length to his back . squarish type like his sister .
the major traits are there .body type { need more length} copper quality and complete pattern . very rare .
great feet color , he will never sire any black pullets .

pullets feets does not matter to me .what matter to me more is they true brothers feets . SOP call for the rooster to have a lighter color shanks not the hens ,the hens are allowed to have darker shanks and feet Plus black earlobe .
dark shank rooster no no .

@RoosterML
I start to worry about the true stand of your chooks ,not sure if they are square or the way you are taking photos of them .you are standing . too high .
better photos for selection are taken ground level .from the side .,back .standing .front ,top .
