Green or Brown?

Post by legless2007 »

Tired and scruffy, but I'm wondering if the wing edge and sex brands are enough to call this as a High Brown?

Thanks for looking

Jo

I'd say yes as well Mike, the small spot is slightly inverted in the HBF, but in a straight line in DGFGoldie :D

Definite male High Brown - the sex brands are very pronounced.

Is this a Welsh, Lancastrian or South West English individual?
