Burgandy is a type of hypomelanism (reduced black pigments) and has only been proven to be single recessive. Red Axanthics are the homozygous form of a co-dominant gene and is a type of axanthism (lack of yellow pigments). They aren't even close to the same.

I think Ralph Davis hatched out a couple this season. Who else has hatched these animals? They sure are interesting!

Corey's red axanthic is a proven co-dominate trait with the red axanthic being the super.
Burgs/chocolate are an unproven trait (to the best of my knowlage) and are thought of as hypos
