What colors do you think I will get from these?

Probably look like the male. With some variation.
But anyways

They are roller (homer?) pigeons, they are about one year old.
In a perfect world the offspring will resemble one of the two parents (with variations).
When it comes to pigeon genetics I find you always have to be ready for surprises.

These are some of the offspring I raised from solid white racing homer parents.

Wow, lots of colors from two whites, I really hope that this pair will have some shiny necked solid brown or tan, or, whatever those colors are called, but the only relatives I saw at the place I got them from were black.

I have to confess that most all the squabs I raised were solid white. That being said when you get pigeons you really have no idea of what recessive genes a bird may be carrying. (Unless some one has kept scrupulous records). Hope you enjoy your birds but be prepared for a few surprises.

Who knows you may even get a few solid whites.

YAY!
For different colors, I mean. ;)
 
Keeping pigeons can be a gamblin man's (so to speak) game.. especially if you fly them. key of hobby is to enjoy outcome or control of more down your own projects.
breeding from your badged/bald head bird. to each gen of its young, will give more white, otherwise more black as white takes fast to slow on own over.
