“That you know of” isn’t proven. I would test the dame next year with a diffused to see if you get about half diffused offspring to be sure. What do the other siblings look like?
The sire belly pattern does scream super masque more than diffused but they are really spread apart. I do have a orchid diffused and I don’t see that type of belly pattern. If he is super masque then yes all offspring would be het for masque with a phenotype of weekly masque look. However, at least my masque group the males seem to show much more masque traits than the females regardless of het or homo for it. And the masque seems to be very variable between individuals even within siblings with some showing more traits than others of the same sex.
Regarding the lateral pattern, I have had diffused corns with a
Lateral pattern that eventually blend into the red background color. I tend to whole sale them off as I’m trying to limit my diffused specimens the ones that are also super masque and Piedsideds.
It’s always a mystery which makes I fun. Enjoy!
