I never heard of a Norwich canary, but I've seen posts on the Glosters. Interesting question.

You have a "consort" Gloster hen. Consort refers to the head style.
Check out this link below. It lists Norwich Canaries as type canaries.

Then click on the name Norwich Canary and you'll see a pic.

I think the 'consort' style glosters are also very cool!
What color is your hen?
