Definitely a pet quality buff cockerel. He has more black undercolour than preferred, and his comb is WAY too raspberry. Yes, it is hard to get a dark comb on a cock, but it can be done.
A red is much, much darker. He is actually kind of light, especially for a male. The aim is "guinea gold." (referencing a golden coin, not guineafowl
)
Here is Kinnaed, my red cockerel back in June. Notice that he is actually a different hue, not just darker.
And here he is more recently with several buffs. His comb has lightened too much
He actually appears lighter in this photo than he is.
