Do you have Florida Fancy in your country or just isabel?
He looks to have either a sf FF or sf isabel appearance to him, if mom is a visual fawn he is likely split to fawn
about SF ff or isabel, i remember that i had purchased a stronge grey silver male wich has not the breast bar when i brood it with a rcfw /isa i got 2 greys and one same as dad a silvery grey witch infortunatly i lost both dad and son
when i consult the Roy Beckham web site he was exactly like the sf ff grey , i dont think that we have FF here , but isabel for sure not to much
, so may be he was an isabel grey one
his mom is in the first picture
i see here as fawn , i got here from this FC father and a fawn / BC ; 'll check her again
