Phenotype question

Hey all. I'm sure you guys get this question all the time, so I apologize ahead of time.

In short, what do I have here?

Mom was a striped amel, dad was a butter. His orange was more pronounced than typical butters.

Thank you. I'd not seen hatchling butters before. They looked kinda snow-ish when they first hatched.
