What is known about Pied-sided now?

Sorry, I'm a bit too lazy to do a lot of digging on this topic and my corn guide only has a tiny bit about it, that is 5 years out of date.

So, what is known about it now?
 
My knowledge is that there are at least 2 lines. Walter labels his SMR and McDonald, which apparently they are incompatible.

The 3 babies I have from Banshee x Big Sam are supposed to also be low expression pied, but I've not seen anything that indicates any expression. I'd have to search on here to find where the pied comes from within the Banshee and Big Sam lineages; I recall it mentioned at some point.

Just in observing pairings (adults) and subsequent offspring, it seems to me that the mutation itself behaves recessively, but the amount expressed leans possibly polygenic.

EDIT: something about bloodred/diffused being tied to the trait too....forgot that
 
Here are some photos of photos. I haven't opened Lightroom in over a year, and it wouldn't export...

This Buzztail, an old school bloodred. Maybe one of the nicest ones out there. She came from a Repticon show, and all that is known is she had granite clutch mates. Sure enough, she proved out heterozygous anery. Katie Haluska, her previous owner, always wondered if she had a pied gene- if she was low expression. My opinion is although she has white that comes up above the ventral scales, she doesn't have the erasure of all markings on the side, to very high up. Even the low or no expression piers have those blank sides like that.
 
Okay, so I know very little about the Pied gene and didn't think I had it with any of my corns. But I loaned out the son of the female posted above to a friend, who paired him with a Diffused het Hypo and het Pied female. They produced 8 babies and a number appear to us to be possible Pied but neither of us has experience with it in person. So I took some pictures of a few of them today, the ones I thought looked the most likely.

So, are they lower expression Pieds or just very high expression Diffused??
