Beautiful sunglow first off.
I think the pink saddles could be from it being both high red saddle color and high melanin. Of course the melanin is muted out because of the albino gene but we know from observation that where black would have been, white appears. I think the reason why we dont see this color scheme too often is because it has taken selective breeding to get the high colored saddles/tail splotches, often by reducing melanin to more effectively breed for red... making the chances for high red and high melanin relatively low early on. IE you hit the polygenic jackpot.
All speculation of course!
