I have shown a few Calico's in AOV. I love them too. The bird in the photo above looks more Partridge to me.
Since there is no standard description for Calico's, there would be no rules for standard. I would say it would be up to the judge to pick the one closest to what he thinks a calico should look like. So, I guess you would say that would be the judge's call.
This is the color of one of the boys I show as Calico in AOV

So what color is the showgirl? Looks a bit like my chick.... Also, could you explain autosomal red and X2? So much to learn...

X2. It may be blue partridge, but it is definitely not calico. The person who coined the term calico for silkies used it to refer to splash with autosomal red, NOT miscoloured greys.

would u call this a calico
