Is She A Torbie?

Hi,
I'm having trouble finding out what colours my new rescue is. Not sure if torbie or just a plain tabby with ginger.

First, no plain tabby with ginger.... This is a stunning beauty! If I werent already happy married, I would at once begin to court her! At once, even if she is somewhat young for me.

Yes, she is a tabby - seems to be a classic tabby. And has red spots, and lots white. So she is a torbie of some sort. The question is how we will to describe this exactly...
Torbie and white? Or shall we call her for a calico and tabby? Thus Patched tabby, or caliby, or tabico? Loved child has many names, no?

She looks ad dilute, as her body hair are bluish. But the tail seems black?
If tail is black, you dont use the word dilute.
But if its sooner dark blue, you describe her as dilute torbie and white....

So pretty!

I'd probably call her a tabico or a caliby, because of all the white. Closer to a calico than a tortie. Definitely a unique pattern!
