Ablaq ala Farw

A strain resembling the hazel-shell Ablaq but in fact a cross between it and the Sokrota — some keepers count it among the hazel-shell grades, which is incorrect. Its colour is lighter (like the abu farwa fruit), its cheeks paler and usually the reddish brown of a hazel-shell shoulder, its eye lighter and generally wider owing to the Sokrota blood, its body plain or only faintly frosted, and its beak weaker than the hazel-shell.
