One has feathers that is interspersed with white and colored, the other has whole white feathers. Grizzle is usually classic grizzle or undergrizzle. Mottle is either the estranged white that occurs with recessive red, or tiger grizzle which renders whole white feathers. Undergrizzle on spread will most often turn to solid color or white.

Hey BMC,
I have a lavender(ash red spread) hen that was all white with very light lavender ticking before the molt.Now she looks like a ash red spread self,no sign of grizzle.
Would that be considered under-gizzle ?

Undergrizzle with spread are generally pepper heads, those spread birds with some white flecks or ticking around the head and neck.

That looks to be nothing more than a classic spread ash red (aka. lavender). Grizzle with spread ash red are nearly white as adults. I have one at home in the kit box that if I get around to to it I'll take a picture of it.

Brian,
So if they look like that and have a bar they are ash bars?

Kenny, some spread ash reds that look like that one in the bowl will still show some sign of a faint red bar pattern, if it is bar underneath and het for spread. A person just has to get used to knowing the visible difference between a faint bar and a non-spread bar.

Briam.
Its pretty strong bar. Sometimes I have to look twice to make sure. I have three red bars of various factors ie smoky/sooty, ash and regular old redbar.
