Smile What colour is she? Silver/Dingy Black Banded or...?

Hello,

I will be taking in this poor little rescue hamster next week if all goes well and her colouring is a bit of a mystery to me.

I've been a foster home for hamsters for many years and I am usually able to clearly identify every colour there is, but in this case I'm at a bit of a loss. At first I thought she had eye-rings, but now that I've received the close-up I just don't see any.

I'm thinking that she must either be Silver/Dingy Black Banded or Blue (perhaps Blue Umbrous?) Banded, although blue Syrians are extremely rare here, so that seems to be rather unlikely.

Am I missing something here?

Going totally by the litter photo I would say Hetero Dingy Black Banded. Cute litter.

Awww what a lovely hamster. Hope all goes well and you get her next week as planned. Is she a foster or will you be keeping her?

I wish they'd give it a new name Dingy black sounds depressing! Lovely little pup.
We don't have Dingy in the UK so not really sure what it looks like.

Thanks, I hope so too. Only as a foster. I'll do my best to find her a huge and lovely home.

There is a saying: Rescuing one animal won't change the world, but the whole world will change for this one animal.

Souffle many call it Silver Black which is really what it is.

Well, she looked completely grey in the above pictures, but now she looks darker. That's quite odd.
