Thanks for your thoughts, John. You say that the head pattern on the ones you saw were very similar to Ruthven's? Not sure if things have changed over the years but just about every single Abby Ruthven's I have seen has had a mostly black head, while just about all the Abby MSP Thayer's I have seen have had red on the head.
This male pictured below I know to have a solid genetic background and was produced by Mike Bodner:

Another thing I have noticed is that the red on the Ruthven's "stripe" is pretty solid, while some of the Abby MSP Thayer's have a faint to sometimes a little bolder line down the top. If you look at the above picture you can make out a faint line to see what I mean.
