>>This year I paired those with a light phase female (also recessive) and got just normals. The reduced black animal paired with a het reduced black threw out half of the clutch as reduced blacks.

Cool....
So they are both recessive traits (Hypo and reduced black).....

That is interesting.....The reduced black Pyromelana (Applegate Special Pyros) will throw inbetween looking offspring when bred to a "normal" phenotype.......

So....Do you think the offpsring from the light phase and the reduced black are "double hets?"......If so, send me a pair...
