primary-coverts, black; secondaries, lower web red, the red extending 
around the ends of the feathers, the remainder of each feather, black; the 
five feathers next to the body being red on the surface so that the wing, 
folded in natural position, shall show one harmonious red color; wing-

Plumage: General surface, rich, brilliant red except where black is 
specified, free from shafting or mealy appearance; depth of red color is 
slightly accentuated on wing-bows and back, but the less contrast between 
these sections and the hackle and breast, the better. A harmonious blend- 
ing of all sections is desired. The bird should be so brilliant in luster as 
to have a glossed appearance. The under-color should be red.
