Nice picture Tony, and it does sort of show up. What
pixel is your camera? Mine is only 1.3 mega pixels
which is about the minumum for good internet photos.
Maybe I will try to get some pics and see if the
coloring shows up.
I am almost sure there is a color term for this
coloring. Just not at all sure what it is. Although
basically they are probably still red or pink eyed
whites, it would be nice to have a term that would
imply more of their actual coloring rather than always
having to say, "I have thes pink eyed whites with
patchy very light peachy fur on their backs." ; )
