Color and pattern male

Head: orange-red.

Neck: hackle warm orangey golden-yellow, each feather with a glossy black shaft-stripe running almost parallel to the outline, ends in a point near the tip; front of the neck similar to the breast.

Back and saddle: back carmine red; hackle warm orangey golden-yellow, each feather with a green-glossy black shaft-stripe running almost parallel to the outline, causing each feather to appear laced with warm orangey golden-yellow; a slightly deeper shade than in the neck-hackle is permitted, as much uniformity as possible is desirable.

Tail: steering-feathers black; sickles, by-sickles and coverts green-glossy black, coverts laced with warm orangey golden-yellow.

Wings: bow black, shoulder-arch carmine-red, wing-bar green-glossy black.

Primary-flights: black with deep reddish-brown along the feather-outline of the outer-vane.

Secondary-flights: black with deep reddish-brown lace along the feather-outline of the outer-vane, forming a red-brown wing-triangle when the wing is closed.

Breast: glossy black, the majority of the feathers must have a yellowish-brown tip or lacing that extends no further than halfway.

Flanks and thighs: black, feathers mostly with a yellowish-brown tip or lacing that extends no further than halfway.

Belly and rear-part: black.

Down: greyish.

Serious faults

White in sickles and tail. Grey in wing-flights. Too light color in neck- and saddle-hackle. Entirely black breast.

Faults

The above serious faults occur to a lesser extent. Wing-triangle too light and incomplete colored. Shaft-stripe too faint.

Color and pattern female

Explanation: Laced goldpartridge differs in females from the so-called "Asiatic" lacing because the ground-color is abundantly present. Consequently, in the otherwise clearly patterned feathers, the dull black irregularly serrated-pattern between the laces is very narrow. Furthermore, all feathers have a bright, glossy golden-yellow, not too narrow outer-lace without any black. The outer-lace is clearly present on all feathers, in older females the lace is dull.

Head: deep yellow-brownish orange.

Neck: hackle orange-gold, each feather with a black shaft-stripe containing some orange-brown pattern, running parallel to the feather-outline, it ends in a point close to the tip; front of the neck similar to the breast.

Back and saddle: warm yellowish-brown ground-color, richley present; parallel to the feather-outline runs a dull-black to greyish tempered narrow serrated-pattern, showing more serration towards the shoulders; the golden-yellow outer-lace is entirely free of black and possesses a strong sheen; the ground-color should not be too abundant as long as the feathers are clearly patterned; back- and saddle feathers do not need to have the serrated-pattern, a even peppering within the distinct outer-lace is also permitted, though serration is preferred.

Tail: steering-feathers black, the upper ones black with warm greyish-brown pattern; coverts warm greyish yellow-brown with serrated-pattern, parallel to each other and the feather-outline.

Wings: coverts warm greyish yellow-brown, the serrated-pattern running parallel to each other and the feather-outline.

Primary-flights: dull black with greyish-brown lace on the outer-vane.

Secondary-flights: feathers inner-vane black, outer-vane greyish-brown with dull-black serrated-pattern running approximately parallel to the feather-outline.

Breast: warm greyish yellow-brown, each feather with two or more distinct laces of warm greyish yellow-brown, separated by a very narrow dull black to greyish tempered serrated-pattern, parallel to each other and the feather-outline; the ground-color may break through the dull black serrated-pattern, as long as the pattern remains distinct; the yellow-brown outer-lace is entirely free of black and possesses a strong sheen, in older females the lace is dull.

Flanks, belly and rear-part: less sharply pattern that transitions towards the rear into solid greyish yellow-brown. 

Thighs: less sharply patterned than the breast.

Down: greyish.

Serious faults

White in tail and lacing. Grey in wing-flights. Serrated-pattern too broad and too straight where required. Lack of the outer-lace. Serrated-pattern not parallel to the feather-outline. Rust on back and wings. Ground-color too red or straw yellow. Red or salmon color on breast.

Faults

Above serious faults present to a lesser degree. Vein-pattern too broad and light on the breast. Clumped peppering on back, saddle and secondary wing-flights.
