Body feather color

He looks more like a wheaten to me than blue wheaten. Is the "lacing" on the breast black or orange/red? With all the orange lacing on the tail feathers I assume the breast feathers are the same and would like to see a photo when you have time.
Here are a couple older similar topics...

Holiday Hatch:
Here are some photos. The first two are of the Cockerel who's body feather color I originally posted the question about.
Mike had asked about other Cockerels I have which might be better, so I posted the 3rd photo.
At first I thought the Cockerel in the first two photos was a Wheaten but his color was a little light. So I thought he might be a darker colored Blue Wheaten. John mentioned in his last post that he looks more like a Wheaten.
I like the Cockerel in the 3rd photo and plan to keep him. Both Cockerels get along well together so I'd like to keep them both. But I wanted some feedback on the coloring of the lighter one. Thanks again for all your help. Linda
Mike Gilbert:
How about a shot from the front of the last rooster, the wheaten. The first one has some serious issues in his chest coloring.
Holiday Hatch:
Thanks for the honesty Mike. I'll get the other photo as soon as I can. Thanks - Linda

I thought the lacing would be off color, because of the off color in the tail. They seem to go together and Barbara Campbell and I discussed it several years ago when she was working to improve her LF wheatens/blue wheatens.
