Is this a hypo lavender?

[cguarino30]

I hatched out 5 motleys last week, 3 males and 2 females. Two of the males are significantly lighter than their siblings, but I can't tell if they are hypo or just extra light-colored. Can anyone give me some help on the ID? I have enclosed a picture of one of the lighter males, and one of the darker females. Thanks.

I don't really know very much about lavender, but those colors look significantly different. Cute little babies!

I think this is just a case that boys colors are better than girls. As they sometimes can be. Lavenders seem to be especially good at that. A hypo lavender you would expect to be much lighter.

That's what I was thinking too. From what I have seen of hypo lavenders, they almost look amel in coloration, it just seems weird that these two boys are so much redder and lighter than the others, including the third male, who is exactly the same color as the female pictured.

Thanks. I wasn't expecting any hypos out of the bunch (although they are all het for hypo) so I was surprised when two of them popped out looking so much brighter than the rest.
