While I suspect it is a release - what I would do is pair it with a locality mate its first season.

In fact, if you have a locality mate, you could do that this season.

Then test the gene w/ pet trade amel the next season. That way if it turns out to be a different amel gene, you have a clutch of hets that are a year closer to producing locality amels, and potentially mate a son to the mother the season after you test.
