RE: Junior Hypo CherryHeads ....
“I may be missing it, but I also don't see the 'elbow spur' enlarged scale typical of red-footeds from Brazil (cherry-heads). I know many red-footeds from that region do not show the classic 'cherry red' colors, I thought the spur was a common element."
*******************************************
Although you also did mention about recessive traits that vanish with crosses - I had chance to take some pictures....
First 3 pictures are of Hypo RF's I have hatched with the remaining pictures of the Hypo Cherries. I actually DO see a difference in the leg spur size.....also head shape different (another feature I think a way to differentiate the species ....I notice this with all the other animals within the herds , not just the Hypos') The animals here I tried to match in size as well and all around 6". Just thought I would share some comparison shots.
First here are the Redfoots.....
***Now The Cherries
