What is the difference between an Amish and a Mennonite head Kapp?

While every conservative Mennonite and Amish woman wears a head covering, the type is up to the individual district to decide so there are several variations even within the same denomination. Some have strings, some don't, the mesh fabric can be different, some wear veils instead of kapps, there are several different cuts/shapes, the number and/or size of pleats can be different, the color of the kapp can be black or white (not including an outer bonnet), Both groups usually use 3-5 straight sewing pins to hold the caps to their hair.
