What Color is this Cochin Roo and will he work in my MF program???

[La Unica Farms]

I recently acquired this bantam Cochin Rooster from a petting zoo that was going out of business. He is a sweet little guy and I would like to use him in my MF program but I am not sure what color he is. At first I thought he was Columbian but now I'm not so sure. So then I thought maybe Silver Penciled but that doesn't look right either. He also has a lot of red and buff colored streaking on his back, neck, and chest. Any thoughts? I was hoping to put him with some of my MF Cochin hens but I don't know if he would be a good match. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

looks like he might have some crele? or at least some barring gene. Not so sure I would use for a mille fleur program

I'm not so sure either. I really like his colors and he is such a sweet little guy. I was thinking he might carry the silver gene and I have read that can really mess up a MF program. I don't know what effects the barring gene can have on MF. I may still try it and just see what I get. I have a buff hen and some super light partridge hens that I might try with him too.
