Re: mosaic ?
That image is really hard to see on my screen. "Mosaic" in the context of racing pigeons is usually recessive opal, occasionally indigo. Yours looks a little like rubella, but like I said - it's very hard for me to see unfortunately. A better pic would help

Re: mosaic ?
I don't have experience with it (there are none to play with in Australia!) But to me this really does look like Rubella. Maybe someone else can chime in?
Re: mosaic ?
It's rec opal, the fish scale like feathers on the rump are tipical to rec opals.

Re: mosaic ?
Recessive opal is autosomal, all his children of both sexes will be carriers.
