Quote: stippling and shafting They are both defined in the APA Standard, under GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS, on page 11. Stippling (not the same as striping which is different than stripping) is the contrasting colors of tiny dots or speckles on a feather. Shafting is when the shaft of the feather is a different color than the surface color of the feather. With silver females we want stippling, but not shafting.
