To add to the confusion over this weird comb, the color is evening out to a darkish blue and the neck feathers I thought would be dark actually are silver with patterning. The feather shafts on the chest are silver and there is a subtle lace effect. The wings have gold centers on the feathers and (yay!) no interruption to the pattern on the bow. So, it's blue birchen-ish? Gotta Love a girl with a few good surprises...
It could look like this when it grows up .
