Calico isn’t an ABA/APA accepted color... and, he isn’t calico. He looks mixed color. But I’m not sure. He’s really pretty regardless!
I know calico isn't accepted yet. Calico is mixed colors. Calico is a mix of either partridge with splash, or partridge with blue.

I did contact the breeder earlier this year, & she told me her blues would throw those funky colored ones out occasionally.

No, it isn’t blue/splash and partridge... I have a breeder nearby who sells and creates Calicos... buffs, blues, and partridges are in the mix over several generations... :)
 
Various patterns of calico: Also called Splash calico.

Me either. Just saying what I know.
If splash isn't the mix, but blue is, blue, & splash all play on the same gene, but comes from black, blue is diluted black, either way, blue creates splash which is the key color needed to make calico, along with buff, or partridge added in.
