Can you narrow it down by year and preferably also clutch? I'm just not seeing it.
It wouldn't be the first time I've been surprised but I don't expect any leucistics to produce any normals or any leucistics to be produced if both parents aren't at least phantoms (i.e. no leucistics with any normal parents).
I'm thinking the super phantom is just the most extreme pigmented of the leucistics and that lesser, mojave, phantom (and possibly butter) are all mutations of the same gene. They may be different mutations of that common gene (alleles) but I still bet they get mixed up to where it's hard to tell them apart in a few years. There also appear to be other genes involved like the one that turns a lesser into a platy and perhaps something similar in the butter.
