54 THE PIGEON STANDARD. 
Thighs.—Are more or less colored, the less the better, white 
preferred. 
Flights.—White, and seven to ten a side. 
Tail.—Dark purple, blue downwards from line across rump, 
the usual black band at lower extremity, upon which 
should be on each and every feather a large, round, 
white spot (‘‘Peacock’s eye’’) clearly defined. Inthe 
lighter colored birds, however, this white takes the 
form of a band, and if well and clearly defined is of 
equal value. Shafts of feather dark. 
Feet.—Bright red but not visible. 
Black Satinettes are of the very palest shade (almost white) 
with afair lacing all over shoulders. Tail white 
with black edging. 
Sulphurettes 
Are same as above, showing pale sulphur ground color 
instead of pale pink, brown on shoulders. 
The Brunette. 
Is similar to the above, only differing in shade of color, 
having a silver-grey tint; the pencillings being of a very 
dark red-brown, fawn, or French grey with tail cf same 
shade. 
The Bluette. 
Clear blue shoulders, with white bars edged with black. 
Dark blue tail, with white spots edged with black. 
The Silverette. 
Pale grey shoulders, with white bars edged with the darker 
shade. Grey tail, with white spots edged with dark grey. 
The Vizor. 
Differs only from the Satinette in that the head should be 
dark bronzy purple clear cut to a well defined line running 
across the neck, from bottom of gullet to back of crest, divid- 
ing the dark colored head from the white. Body, frill, rump 
and legs should be pure white and free from foul feathers; 
thighs as little dark as possible. The dark tail clearly shown 
at rump, and white primary flights seven to ten.
