Would you call this a blue check or a black check?

Hey Kop Checks come in their color except this one which is a dark blue check..Blue checks are the color of blue bars and so forth.

Andrew, There are only 3 colors of pigeons. Ash Red, Blue and Brown. Everything else is a factor or pattern of those 3 colors. I would say that bird is a blue check. Remember, black is simply blue with the spread factor added.

Technically it is a Blue T-pattern, but blue check will suffice for the roller guys..lol.

T-pattern is one of the true pigeon shield markings, but more precisely it is a modified version of true check pattern. The order of dominance from least to most dominant is barless > bar > check > t-pattern > velvet. Barless, bar and check are what are most commonly used to describe a pattern marking.
A T-pattern is a check pattern where the checks are closed to the point they form a "T" shape at the end of the shield feathers. This is a fairly consistent marking. American Show Racers and the like have some fantastic examples of T-pattern. A velvet is one step further, where the check has closed up to the point there is no check or T-pattern present. In some cases the shield will appear all black while the chest and underbelly feathers remain blue.
