Clutch 2 hatching - Did I hit the Sterling Bee?!

My second clutch is hatching now and I couldn't be more pumped. The pairing was Bumble Bee x Pewter. So far I see:

1 grayish highly blushed spider - looks like a pewter or killer bee

1 cinnamon

1 pastelish, maybe a super? - can barely see this one

1 more bee-ish spider pastel +?

and THIS! The head is silver where there's color and completely clear/white on the rest. The spots along the eye mask lead me to believe PERHAPS I have hit the sterling bee!? It's much more fun to wait so I won't be cutting this one further to peek. What do you think? Did I hit it or is this a pewter bee or regular sterling? Of course many more pics to come here and on my Facebook.

This hobby. What is this. I don't even. So awesome.

It's definitely a pewter bee. Still PUUUMPED!

My very first clutch piped today as well! I also have the same EXACT head peeking through the hole except mine would be a queen bee (lesser pastel spider). The head is the exact pinkish hue with those brownish black side lines. I also think I hit the lesser bee (which is why I believe the first one is the Queen). Good luck!!

Cant wait to see them out of the egg. Congrats

I'd say you did, but I guess we'll see!!!

This and congrats Lang I know you've been waiting.

Yea, i was gonna say the head isn't blushed enough for it to be a sterling bee. The head on mine is basically white. Still, pewter bees are NNNIIICCEE :gj: Hope its a male for ya.....or female if you want that haha.

The pictures are misleading but we will see hopefully tonight. I got another picture of its head with no flash that shows what it looks like in reality. The thing that has me wondering if maybe it is the sterling bee is that I caught a glimpse of one of the other heads last night and it had much more color and I feel confident it is either a pewter bee or a regular sterling. The pattern on the side makes me think it has to have spider in it, but the head was much more colored than this other one. We shall see!!

And Yes I am hoping this is a male.

OK last night I thought they were both pewter bees. The 2nd one is out of the egg and I'm kind of glad I hit a definite pewter bee, because it's helping me feel confident that the other is a sterling. You be the judge... also... SNAKE PIIIICS!!

I'm not crazy, right? The snake on the right is a sterling and the snake on the left is a pewter? The one on the right when I flip it over the edge of the belly is super busy patterned and spotted like a super pastel whereas the one on the left has a much more organized pewtery 1 big spot per break kind of pattern.

What say you?! Pewter or Sterling?

Looks like a Sterling to me (by comparison)
