Harlequins.
“The difference you will notice from Harlequins to Magpies is what is going on with the C Locus. ‘cchd’ or ‘the (dark) chin gene’ strips away the orange coloring and replaces it with white. C is full expression of black and yellow pigmentation.” Harlequins are the solid version of tricolored Holland Lops. A “perfectly” marked Harlequin will have a split of the two colors alternating on the head, ears, feet and body.”
Blue/ Cream Harlequin.
(From left to right: Low rufus black & orange harlequin, black & orange harlequin, black & orange harlequin and a black & orange harlequinized tri color).
