Okay, I am still doing a lot of learning....I have 2 that are white with the black "saddle"....is this considered the mottled? Or is one more mottled than the other. I have 1 pullet and 1 cockerel that are the white with the black. We sure think the brown one is pretty....with the markings in her feathers. What is she called?
Mottled is a pure color & a pure color, Like pure black & pure white.
A splash is a gray/blue & a lighter color, as blue is a dilution of black.
You cannot have a black & white "splash" as a splash is a dilution of the darker color (in this case black)
You can see each feather is a whole color, not spangled or speckled.
This is a Mottled Ameracauna :
