and (i may be wrong) a sunglow motley is a selective amel

I believe that the offspring would be somewhere in the middle. It will be Amel, the only thing that going to vary is the contrast of the Amelanism, which is selective bred, and breeding two different variances of a non-genetic trait (i.e. the variance of the pigments of Amels, and not trying to just get the Amel genes) will have the result of being somewhere in between the two parents' pigment variation.

Long story short, it will look like an interesting Amel or a low-quality Sunglow.
