The original dark eyed yellow has a melanin reduction of about 95% in the plumage. That is a yellow bird having a light green hue, a light blue rump, grey legs and toes and black eyes. Combinations with NSL ino result in the yellow black eye with a white rump. Combinations with pastel result in a spotted yellow bird (in contrast with the combination pastel/ino, they have grey legs and toes).There is no need to say that one should try to breed this variety as pure as possible, and all combinations with pastel and recessive ino should be avoided. Combined with birds that show a light blue rump and black eyes, one refers to these birds as dark eyed white
