Question Winter White with Speckled fur

I've always been able to tell Lilo apart from her sister by her fur, by I couldn't pin point why. I just realized that she has white speckles covering her lower back but they are hard to see since her fur is medium grey and there isn't much contrast. I've never seen this color pattern in a WW, so what color is it and does this mean she's a hybrid?

It might mean she is a hybrid, or at least have some hybrid in her. Has she ever started to change colour into the WW 'winter coat'? Hybridization affects a WW's ability to change colour, and sometimes it leaves marks on them.

My Todd has very strong WW genes, and he changed colour due to the hours of light in the pet shop were he was. He's now changed back to his normal grey, but he has a random light spot on his flank. It was white for ages, and he had some uneven white patches, which eventually greyed.

She hasn't changed color since we got her, but I've noticed that her sister Bolt had gotten lighter since my brother had her in his room. He keeps the lights off almost all day :L She doesn't have the spots though
