Amel (I think) with an odd pattern. Possibly Aztec? Thoughts? Thanks!

I didn't want to handle it too much. I tried to check the belly but couldn't see well. May be easier once she/ he sheds. ill get better pictures after shedding. My first thought was terazzo too, but the back pattern is really wrong for that (?) and both parents are pretty normal in pattern.
 
Paradox is when they display a color that, genetically speaking, they shouldn't have (to my understanding). Like an amel displaying black pigment. Right? While I'm totally fascinated by those I'm not sure if that's what's gong on here. Though who knows what she will look like after shedding I suppose.
 
I will post more pictures after she sheds! Should be in the next few days. I'm excited to see what she will look like.
 
Frank, that was my best guess as well at the moment. Thanks for the possibilities so far everyone.
 
Post shed

Sorry about the picture quality and flash. I will get better ones on feed day but this is her post shed.

Thanks Frank! She's definitely a keeper. I'd love to know if her pattern is an awesome oops or genetic. And she needs a name ... so far we started calling her Lex (short for Lexmark as in the printer known for ink problems).. but I'm sure there are better options
 
Even if it's not predictably reproducible, it is a cool corn to have and show off. Make sure you share another photo of this one as it matures!
