I've noticed you say goldenface type 2 several times now. How can goldenface be type anything? I thought it was like yellowface type 3? So there's yf1, yf2 and goldenface?

Golden face just refers to the depth of colour in the mask as far as I know Bea. In show breeding we are told that Yellowface is a pale lemony yellow and golden face is bright strong gold. Correct me if I am wrong.

And aslo golden face is used more often when the body turn to a green that looks like a normal green. The type 2 is still used becuase the yellow bleeds into the body just like the yellowface.

 

I agree with Karen on their types but thought to let you know harlequins is another term used for Recessive pieds in australia.

ive always wonderd why people say Harlequin, now i know

Sco-tie
