odd looking hatchling leo

I looked in the incubator about 2 days ago and found this looking back at me. I wasn't expecting them to start hatching for another week so it was kinda a surprise. What's even more surprising is it's weird white neck band. The parents are a Mack snow ghost and a line bred tangerine. I've hatched out my share of leos and have probably had over 100 of them over the years, but have never seen markings like this.

Any one ever seen one like this?

Just like the adults with the normal white neckbands eventually lose the bands entirely, so did this one, so it wasn't unusual. Yours looks as if it's going to be a hypo or superhypo since the dark bands are so washed out.
