Need Help with Mystery Hatchling

Check out this little guy/gal that hatched out this morning! I need some help with what I've got here...

In 2007 I bred my female Crimson with unknown hets to an Anery male that was labeled Anery het Hypo, Snow, poss. het BR Charcoal. That clutch produced beautiful Hypos and Normals. I held back a perfect Hypo female and bred it to her Anery male father. This is the first hatchling from their first clutch. If it helps with the ID, I unfortunately lost two eggs very close to when they were expected to hatch from this clutch, and after opening them, found what looked like an Anery and a Snow. I was told by the breeder of the male Anery that there might be more to his background, but he was not able to say for sure what else he may have going on.

I see no yellow, it has grey eyes, and the belly check are barley visible. There are virtually no visible borders around the saddles and the background is solid white.

With what I knew about the combos I was breeding I expected some anerys, snows, ghosts, hypos, crimsons and such, but am at a loss with this gorgeous little snake. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks Hallie! I was thinking ghost too but it seems so purplish and has no yellow at all. I might have to wait to see what happens to the colors down the road. It's been tough trying to find pictures of ghost hatchlings and the ones I've found look more grey, but looks can be deceiving I guess...
 
S/he is very purple, but who knows what will show up after the first shed. As for the yellow, that wouldn't show up right away. I have a 2 year old ghost who just started getting his yellow about 8 months ago. Even anery babies aren't born with any yellow, it develops over time. :)
 
Looks like a typical, and very nice ghost to me (with very visible saddle borders...if you know what you're looking at ;) )! As Hallie said, the yellow on any corn snake doesn't start coming in until after the first few sheds at the earliest. Your ghost baby will probably get more pink/peach to go with the nice shades of blueish gray.
