It's not a recessive genetic trait per se, it is a natural pattern variation. It's similar to the "tangerine" and "tri-color" traits of Hondurans. They can be either color, or some that are intermediate between the two.

If you start out with nice "sockheaded" parents(or at the very least one of them), your chances of the characteristic being expressed in the offspring is greatly enhanced, but if you have more normal temporal-banded parents, your odds won't be much in favor of producing any.

Hope that helped some
