Hello, I've come with an odd situation. I cannot seem to determine the color of my hamster- even after a long time researching about different fur types, colors, genetic links, etc but still my little hammie is such a puzzling sight!
He is a male syrian who seemingly has a full white body with pink (not black) ears. Supposedly this would result in him having red eyes, but he does not. Only black. So this does not mark him as an albino.
As I looked closer at him I find that he has incredibly light brown-gold markings on his forehead- and a spot on his back and ear.

I have contacted a knowledgable hamster owner (Erinshamsters on youtube- she does great hamster care videos by the way) and she suggested checking out this forum.
I haven't the foggiest idea on what his true color and pattern is- my guess is a dominant spot. As I said- the brown patterns are incredibly hard to see so he definitely cannot be a cream or cinnamon.
