To me, that looks more like a DEH or possibly a Schimmel? I think I
would have to see his belly, to see if it has the same color fuzz as
the rest of him or not.
His eyes are obviously going to be black. And he COULD be a CP, but
at this stage (and though I don't have a lot of experience in this) I
would be more likely to say he is not, and that the dark "points"
that you see is just where the fuzz is thinner and his dark skin
shows through.
At this point, I honestly wouldn't assume anything until he hits the
5 week mark at least. Also, I now wonder if the parents are actually
what they have been assumed to be. This would also help in the
narrowing down of possibilities.
Good luck! And have patience. :)

I got pictures of the gerbil that I am wondering if he is a mystery colored.
