More than one male can sire the babies in a single litter. So there should be no surprise that some might look completely different from others. For instance, if a "Super" hypo male was bred to a normal female, and another normal male was used as well, you could easily pick the babies and assign them to one father or the other. The same clearly looks to be true here. I would highly suspect a Bolivian male fathered the babies you have shown assuming the Mother is a Colombian type animal. I'll bet they are generally on the feisty side too. Many Bolivians are. Just my two cents worth...
