Black Shoulder Pied Male
(Pavo cristatus mutation pied and negripennis)
This mutation has patches of white replacing many
of the normal colors of the Black Shoulder. The white patches
may be located anywhere on the bird. More select bred Black Shoulder
Pieds will have white radiating throughout the train. Black Shoulder
Pied bred to Black Shoulder Pied, the theoretical ratio of 1:2:1
should occur (25% White, 50% Black Shoulder Pied, 25% Dark Pied).
The Dark Pied will resemble Black Shoulder with white flight feathers
or coverts.
