Dilute blue... commonly referred to as dun. Probably has a little bit of bronzing which gives it that sulfur look when dilute is in the equation. Is the parent an actual black? or is it a dark check t-pattern bird? I think I see what is a tail bar, and that along with the bronzing makes me think that the parent is a t-pattern and not an actual spread blue (black).

I’ve always wondered if she was someone kind of dun, but I wasn’t sure because my other dun birds were always more grey. Here are her parents.

Is the second pigeon a Modena??

He’s half Modena, a fourth Oriental, and a fourth Kormorner.

This is his father(where the bronzing genes came from).

The brown hen’s mother had two beautiful different colored eyes.

Well you definitely have bronze in your birds... whether that female is a black (spread blue) or a t-pattern I'm not sure. It could be a poor example of spread as it does happen... and you definitely have a varied background in your birds. The offspring is a dun of some kind though... whether it's a spread or t-pattern I'm not sure

Well, thank you so much for your input! I’ve been wondering what she was for a long time.

Could I ask what you’d best describe these birds as?

An interesting pigeon that I managed to take a picture of. I’ve seen him at this location with a flock several other times, so I think he’s doing well. I’m guessing he’s a feral mixed with a fancy or flying breed?

Or somebody's loft escapee.
