I really respect you a lot and i love your website and the information you put together. but here we have to agree to disagree.

I call BPs that are homozygous for a gene in the BEL gene complex or that have two genes from the BEL complex BELs. Even if they are not white. And no offense, pulling a 2200 year old root out of a word is impressive, but i dont see how that matches up to a modern definition that says its a reduction in all pigment. Reduction, not elimination. And the birds are cute and someone considers them to be leucistic

Language is one of these things humans make up as they go along, and i just call a mystic potion a BEL. Maybe that changes one day, but i see no reason to change it right now. I like white BELs, but i also like non-white BELs, and i challenge you to come up with an alternative to "non-white BEL" that is different, but not longer, and that carries the same explanatory power. It still needs to imply that its two genes from the BEL complex or homozygous for a gene in the BEL complex.
