More questions about Doc's color

Doc is the boy from Ginger & Buddy's first clutch last year.  He has always been a light grey, although I've been told repeatedly that he's a Cinnamon.  After his first adult molt, he is now pearled.  An interesting quandry as pearl males LOSE the pearling as they mature, not gain it.  However, Dominant Silvers, like Lancelot, get more pearling as they mature.  Here are pix of Doc, with the new Cinnamon girl (I want to name her Sinny Buns but Adrian protested...ALOT).  Also, here is a pic of Lancelot with his new finery.
