About the Red And White English Magpie
The red-and-white carries the same magpie marking — a coloured head, neck, breast, back, saddle and tail set against a clean white body — but in a warm, even red rather than black. As a self red it should show solid, glossy colour across the marked areas with sharp, smudge-free demarcation at the breast and saddle. It is one of the recognised colours of this slim, show-only tumbler, kept purely for its bold contrast and clean lines.
