how would you label the left one?

these are all the clutchmates

Looks similar to my Sunburst Pastels I produced last season. Mine are a new morph cross with a Pastel. Here are a couple of pics of them.

belongs in timS collection lol thats one heck of a looker

I'm not sure what it is but I hatched something similar this year. I always thought the mother looked like a fire but she is unproven. The hatchling on the right looks like the mother. The one on the left has the mother's trait and is also pastel. I have some more breeding to do to figure out exactly what the mother is.

looks like a nice light super pastel.

this is the point!
it's just like a superpastel, but these are the parents:
mother on clutch

father (NERD lemon pastel) mating another female

the questions are:
-why this big difference between the "pseudo superpastel" and a pastel sibling if he is just a pastel(as he should be)?

-perhaps the normal allele got a pastel mutation so he is really a superpastel..(one on a billiard cases)?

-perhaps the normal looking female has a hidden gene?

what's your opinion?

Is the mother captive bred? Of course anything could be a het but now day's lots of captive bred possible hets get sold as normals (probably mostly males though). If you can track her back to the breeder ask if there is anything she is known to be possible het for. I did see some pictures of pastels het VPI Axanthic that reminded me of that one. I don't know how common it is for pastel het axanthics too look different though but pastel does have a history of exposing hets that you shouldn't be able to see.

female is a '03 farm breed, so no tracking is possible...
