Laced bluesilverpartridge
Color and pattern male
Head: silvery-white.
Neck: hackle silvery-white, each feather with abright-blue 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 silvery-white; hackle silvery-white, each feather with a bright-blue shaft-stripe running almost parallel to the outline, causing each feather to appear laced with silvery-white; a slightly deeper shade than in the neck-hackle is permitted, as much uniformity as possible is desirable.
Tail: steering-feathers bright-blue; sickles, by-sickles and coverts bright-blue, coverts laced with white.
Wings: bow silvery-white, shoulder-arch silvery-white, wing-bar bright-blue.
Primary-flights: bright-blue with white lace along the feather-outline of the outer-vane.
Secondary-flights: bright-blue with white lace along the feather-outline of the outer-vane, forming a white wing-triangle when the wing is closed.
Breast: bright-blue, the majority of the feathers must have a white tip or lacing that extends no further than halfway.
Flanks and thighs: bright-blue, feathers mostly with a white tip or lacing that extends no further than halfway.
Belly and rear-part: bright-blue
Down: greyish.
Serious faults
Yellow tint in neck- and saddle-hackle. Shaft-stripe pattern too faint. Too dark in neck, saddle and tail. White in tail. Rust-brown or red on the shoulders. Entirely bright-blue breast. Strongly deviating or uneven blue.
Faults
Slight deviation in color and pattern. Too incompletey colored wing-triangle. Some rust in older males.
Color and pattern female
Explanation: Laced partridge 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 silvery-white 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: silvery-grey
Neck: hackle silvery-grey, each feather with a bright-blue shaft-stripe containing some silvery-grey 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: silvery-grey ground-color, richley present; parallel to the feather-outline runs a is dull blue to grey-blue tempered narrow serrated-pattern, showing more serration towards the shoulders; the silvery-grey outer-lace is entirely free of blue 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 bright-blue, the upper ones bright-blue with silvery-grey pattern; coverts silvery-grey with serrated-pattern, parallel to each other and the feather-outline.
Wings: coverts silvery-white, the serrated-pattern running parallel to each other and the feather-outline.
Primary-flights: blue with silvery-white lace on the outer-vane.
Secondary-flights: feathers inner-vane bright-blue, outer-vane silvery-white with blue serrated-pattern running approximately parallel to the feather-outline.
Breast: silvery-grey, each feather with two or more distinct laces of silvery-grey, separated by a very narrow dull blue tempered to grey-blue serrated-pattern, parallel to each other and the feather-outline; the ground-color may break through the blue serrated-pattern, as long as the pattern remains distinct; the silvery-grey outer-lace is entirely free of blue 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 silvery-grey.
Thighs: less sharply patterned than the breast.
Down: greyish.
Serious faults
Yellowish tint in the neck-hackle. Excessive ground-color in the shaft-stripe pattern. White in tail and lacing. Light-coloured veins. Serrated pattern too broad and too straight where required. Lack of or too indistinctly patterned outer-lace. Very irregular pattern. Rust on back and wings. Ground-color too red or straw-yellow.
Faults
The above serious faults present to a lesser extent. Some ground-color in the shaft-stripe pattern. Some rust on wings. Too broad and light vein on the breast. Clumped peppering on back, saddle and secondary-flights. Too broad and light vein pattern on the breast. Slightly color deviation.
