Mottle vs Blue Laced expression

[luvmigirls]

Reversed Mottle versus laced.

I have a roo who displays both a reverse mottle and blue laced feathers, but they not on the same single feather. Can anyone care to tell me the relation to the epression of these gene not being on the same feather?

Better pics sure would help to understand what's going on.
I am unaware what you're calling reverse mottling or what reverse mottling is supposed to be.
As far as I know mottling is mottling and there isn't a way to "reverse" it.

This is the first time in my long years that I have heard the term Reverse Mottling.


The closest to a Reverse Mottled is the Silver Spangled pattern for White body with black dots.

Mottled(black background and white dots)

Silver Spangled(white background with black dots)

Interestingly Enough one could achieve such reverse mottling(white background and black dots) with recessive mottling, Silver and Columbian restriction

Trying to find the pics..


Found the pics,

These birds look as if they were Silver Spangled(ER/ER, S/S, Db/Db, Pg/Pg, Ml/Ml), but they are Silver Columbian restricted Mottled(eb/eb, S/S, Co/Co, mo/mo)


The Silver Mille Fleur really look like Silver Spangled, but you can tell they are mottled due to the lack of a "Tear Shaped" black spots and the white end on the tip of the feathers

I've been aware of silver MF for a while now and I don't see how it could be referred to as a reverse mottled bird.
Its still a typical mottled with white tips. Just because the buff is replaced by white doesn't change the mottled pattern.
A few years ago I had an "expert" that shows birds swear to me that an exchequer was a white bird with black mottling which is why they didn't look like other mottled birds but of course that isn't correct either but they were convinced they knew it was.

Why not? I mean regular mottled pattern as in Ancona is Black body with White dotes, and the reverse of that would be white body with black dots? Anyways I was the one that mentioned them as possible Reverse Mottling pattern not that the OP has been able to clarify what was meant by "Reverse Mottling"

I would think "reverse" mottled would imply same as a mottled bird except the colors switched.
A silver MF doesn't have black where the white should be and vice versa. It has white tips just as mottled should.
Just because it has mostly white because of the buff being changed IMO doesn't make it reversed mottled.

How about Silver Spangling then?

 

[The Moonshiner]

Yes I think spangling would be the correct look but then why call it reverse mottled instead of spangled?

Semantics?
