The male is all shades of brown and buff. The neck and tail feathers are dark, chocolate brown. The breast, back and eyes of the tail are buff in contrasting shades. The hen is mostly buff, with some dark brown in the flight feathers and around the neck. Cameos have the same markings of Blues, but only in buff, brown and chocolate.
Chicks hatch out light buff in color.
These are Cameos with the Pied factor. Striking birds, they show all the brown coloring, but are irregularly splashed with white. These are to Cameos, as the Black Shoulders are to Blues. Males are colored like Cameo males, but have dark brown shoulders instead of brown and white checks. Hens are creamy white, with brown flecks throughout the plumage, much lighter than Cameo hens.
