Cameo Pied White Eye Male
(Pavo cristatus mutation pied white eye and brown)
This mutation has patches of white replacing many
of the normal colors of the Cameo. The white patches may be located
anywhere on the bird. The male has a white throat patch under
the lower mandible on the neck. The exterior of the wings and
shoulders are barred with detailed brown on white. The tops of
the shoulders are a grayish brown with white flaking. More select
bred males will all have white centers in the eye train feathers.
When Pied is bred to Pied, the theoretical genetic ratio of 1:2:1
should occur (25% White, 50% Cameo Pied White Eye, 25% Dark Pied).
The Dark Pied resemble Cameo in appearance.
