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. Initially when this color pattern was first described it was called light brown.
Their genotype is (b+b+eengng) for toms and (b+b+e-ng-) for hens.
Bronze base, modified with brown and narragansett dilution genes.
