Interesting.  Thanks for the url.  According to the site, it is the Mouflon 
genetics that influence the white on the tails and lighter bellys.  The 
Barbados influence is black.
Always learn something new.

My white spotted on the head ewe lamb doesn't look like she would qualify as 
a Painted Desert.  She's not spotted.  Her underside is half/half. (light and 
black, apparently, the Mouflon/Barbado influence) with a white area on top of 
her head, otherwise she has the ABS coloration.
