At first glance this looks basically like a Narragansett but look again, it is a bit paler, look at the dark band at the end of the tail feathers, it is brown not black like in a normal Narragansett.

All black edging is diluted to a brown coloration in this extremely rare variety by the presence of the (e) brown gene. 

Their genotype is (b+b+eengng) for toms and (b+b+e-ng-) for hens. 

Bronze based with brown and narragansett modifying genes.
