white or solid yellow. There is but very little difference in 

 reality in the color of a red Cameau and a yellow Cameau. 

 (This is true of all breeds of pigeons.) The yellow is apparently 

 just a little bit more negative in coloring matter, which by the 

 way is more frequent with females than with males; that is to 

 say, with all red breeds of pigeons now and then there is apt 

 to appear a yellow female and so far as that goes, this same 

 color characteristic appears in birds of any solid color, as the 

 female will on exceptional occasions show lighter in color than 

 males of the same variety. Dun females, for instance, will 

 sometimes appear among black feathered birds.
