Silky in Pigeons is somewhat rare. Although rare, it seems to be most common in Fantails because breeders have continued to breed for it.

This Roller hen is thought to be Reduced Brown. A tail bar is visible which would rule out Spread. Not 100% sure what she is. Another unknown.

Dark T-Pattern Ash Red Check Roller
These are called Ribbon Tail
This bird, although somewhat rare, is not an unknown. It is rare in that most Ash Red birds show lighter heads and necks. This bird appears to be Recessive red but the giveaway here is the lighter flights and tail.

These three pics are all of the same bird. From left is the juvenile plumage, adult plumage, and a shot of the wing. This type of Bronzing is more common in some breeds than others. Actually, this bird is just a Blue Bar, but does show some Bronzing.

These three pics are of the same two birds. The middle picture is a wonderful example of the contrasting differences in the birds. The top bird (also right pic) is a Blue Check with some Bronzing. The bottom bird (also left pic) looks to be Recessive Opal.

These Hungarians are pictured to show the intensity of the coloring. The two pics on the left are of the same T-Pattern Blue Check, the right picture is a T-Pattern Brown Check.
