Seriously, i think it's the hairdo.. Nigel Is it a shetland black? IIRC they have some araucana in their make up which would explain the topknot. My Cream Legbar looks similar.

There are more pics of our hens on my www., will have to update it coz I don't think Craig's guys are on it as adults, but there are pics of our original hens from chick to adult.
