The two faded babies are Hypos - they got the recessive version of the gene from both parents. The wild type baby is a Possible Het Hypo. The BEL is either also Hypo, or another Poss Het Hypo. Kinda hard to tell.

I agree with Deb that both parents are het hypo.

I agree, first thing I thought when I saw the first pic, hypo! Congrats on a surprise clutch and a good one at that! Two unknown hets for the same recessive gene on an accidental pairing, can't say I've heard of that happening before lol. And bels too from a dad you thought was normal lol, I have to say, you're pretty lucky haha.
