Your Bal Mosque looks a lot more like Gypsy Lord to me.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

I have gypsy lord close to bal masque and they are different. I have a picture soon to come, and I'll try to repost them side by side when I do. It might be the color from my cell phone camera too.

Jen, I've been wondering where you'd been, sorry to hear it was due to illness. Happy that you're feeling better!

And too many exquisite ones to mention by name, but these photos were worth the wait!

Bal Masque has an older form, less pronounced white area near the beard. The beard gets nearly white at the tip.

I put the wrong picture in. That was gypsy lord. I'm sorry. I edited it so it was correct.
