They are quite similar to the codominant hypomelanistic specimens that are being bred by quite a few at the moment. It will be interesting to see if, as the juvenile-mature colour pattern changes, they become true hypo's (double factors) or partial hypo's (single factor). What do the parents look like??
Single factor hypo's can be quite subtle. Compare this guaranteed single factor male with a normal male and then with you fat girl .
The mottled patterning of the black distribution we see in single factor animals is more like your female i.e. the black between the bands is not in solid bands like a normal.
The variability makes some animals borderline but I would suggest your female may be single factor thus if the male is 100% normal the babies will be 50% normals and 50% single factors

single factor x single factor = 25% normal, 25% double, 50% single
Being that they occur as a moderately common wild form (single factors) its not surprising that we are overlooking them. I sold a pair last year that I considered inferior as they were not as well coloured as my normals and I bet they were single factors that I never appreciated. It wasn't until Daniel sent me pics of known single factor juvies from his true hypo male that it clicked.
