Your pic doesn't show up, but yes, a greenish tint where the melanin is absent is a fairly common occurrence in amels(albinos), and snows(anery x amel), etc...

Without seeing it, it's impossible to say if it involves a specific trait combination, or not, but it is more than likely a common variant of an amel.

I've seen amel corns with a greenish hue to their borders referred to as "Christmas" corns in the past, but unless this is a trait that is consistantly inheritable, and proved to be a very noticeable and repeatable trait, they are simply variations of amel corns in my opinion.
