Basically like any gold based partridge breeds

This cockerel's sire was a gold based partridge (Penedesenca) and his mum was lavender (which is modified black if I've understood it right, but I'm very unsure about that), so where does the white come from?

Let's see if I've learned what I think I've learned (If not, the teachers here will correct me),

Black can hide many things, and thus likewise lavender can as well, and this fellow is birchen.

Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.

All chickens are either gold, silver, or (possible for roosters) gold/silver. The silver came from the lavender hen.
He doesn’t look birchen to me.

Silver duckwing I think. He looks like my silver duckwing phoenix.

thank you kindly @3KillerBs @RoostersAreAwesome and @NagemTX
3 different answers so far, so I guess it isn't obvious, and I don't feel such a numpty now

on the silver duckwing suggestion, I have a silver duckwing welsummer hen but I don't think she was the mum/grandmother, because this guy has a pea comb and the only hen I have with a pea comb is the lavender araucana. Or can pea combs be hidden by straight or coronation combs? (no other type here)

The phenotype(outwards feather pattern) of the pictured male could not have come from a pure self lavender(all lavender) bird, he looks Silver Duckwing(wich by the way could be attain from wildtype e+ or eb and even Wheaten)

If he was E/eb he would have looked mostly solid black.

I see a pea comb and a crest. neirther Penedesnca carry those so that could lead you to the possible dame.

the lavender araucana (British type, with tail and no ear tufts) has both crest and pea comb; that's who I assume was his dame.

so that did come from the partridge penedesenca sire then? or have I misunderstood?

the lavender araucana (British type, with tail and no ear tufts) has both crest and pea comb; that's who I assume was his dame.

So you have a British Type Araucana? In any case he should also have a beard if his dame was a British Type Araucana

The rooster in question can not come from a pure lavender bird(unless the lavender comes form a Lavender x Isabel cross breeding)

yes his mum looks just like that.

I have wondered if she was not pure because her eggs are only faint blue.

In any case he should also have a beard if his dame was a British Type Araucana

If he's got a beard, it's a very small one, and not visible in any photos I've got of him.

The photo below is of the bird that was his dad, I think

Genetic it's a pretty strait forward science, Out-crosses and Back-crosses are done to identify genes and mutations. If a solid lavender bird when cross to a partridge bird produces duckwing phenotype this means that the solid lavender bird in question is not pure for the Extended Black e allele.
