Buttermint...or not? (with updated pics)

I have a 1.2 trio of classics that are het amel cinder motley sunkissed. Surprise, surprise, the male and one of the females also proved het caramel. So, after hitting a 1/256 by producing a saffron motley, one of my peppermint females is making wonder if she's in fact a buttermint. I'm colorblind, so that's why I'm asking for help. She seems to have a lot of yellow on her, a ton more so than her brother (who is pictured first).

Peppermint - male (100% sure he's an amel cinder)

Again very good looking snakes. I can't tell, but maybe Walter will be able to!

I have a similar trio hope mine give me such good looking babies.
 
Hey Mitch,
it's "seems" to look like a Buttermint, but then again so does the first pic. and if that's a definate Peppermint it does not look to be ???
I'm not sure if it's just my monitor, but your pics. seem to be badly over exposed. I see this in the pics. in your other threads as well.

Maybe some adjustment in your lighting will help show a more accurate coloration of the snakes to help determine what they might be.

Its the damn flash on the bright snakes that is killing the color. I'm going to try to get another pic of the two with a veeeeeeeery low flash setting today.
 
Hey Mitch,
Much better pics. I woud still say that both look to be Buttermints. I can usually tell my Buttermints (from the Peppermints in the same clutch) once they have their first shed, but I'm sure yours have had that, maybe even a couple ??

Anyway, that first one just appears (to me) to also be a Buttermint.
