In the Leon area in Spain we currently find two mai families of roosters : Indio and Pardo.
The feathers from the both families must be very bright on the front and it must preserve this bright on the back. The speckles, the fleshy leaves, penetrate the feather and should be clearly be seen on both sides. It is also important that the background of the feather is similar on the front and the back and that the back is not whiter or lighter in colour. The barbs of the feathers are fine but really straight and elastic.

In the next pictures we have two type of feathers, from the left to the right: rihnon and colgaderas
