    Not sure but he has short legs like my Cornish, I am not sure cause I can't tell from that pic how broad his chest is.

    I have no idea but it is one beautiful bird. Hopefully someone will chime in that knows. The head makes me think it is some sort of cornish breed but again I don't know.

    That one is really close too!

    It's not just the spots of the spangles I'm interested in, it's how different the birds feathers are, from the rust/white of the wings, to the mid-back/saddle being tan/creame, and then some green/red feathers thrown in.

    I've never seen a bird exhibiting so many colorations!
