Piebald is only Piebald when it has BOTH copies of said recessive trait. These affects or "markers" can be caused by pleiotropy or even epistasis as well by many other reasons.
Albinos, piebalds, clowns, etc. all produce a recessive phenotype that is only visible in the homozygous genotype.
Based off of what you say here then a Lesser is not co-dominant it is recessive... Reasoning behind is a BEL is only a BEL it is not a lesser... Same can be said for most co-dom morphs out there. It has to have both copies to show the "super" form... How is being a lesser any different than having het pied markers that change the appearance of the snake? Or any others listed? They all change the look of the animal.
