Egg turning gray? Did it overheat?

Hello everyone.

So, I have two pigeon eggs incubating away. There was a slight issue with my incubator and it overheated for a short time. Nothing too dramatic. Maybe 2 hours at 104ish. I'm not quiet sure what happened honestly but is wasn't super overheated for a long period or anything.

One egg seems to be perfectly fine. This was a few days a go and he/she is growing well in the egg and alive. However the other egg looks to be okay, but maybe not. It's hard to tell if an egg is alive or dead sometimes when it is not super clearly alive. That egg is turning gray though. Not like gray spots on the outside, but a grayish hue that seems to be coming from the inside. It's very faint, but noticeable when its looked at. Almost like its a white egg with light gray marbling. No strange smell or anything else. Still got veins and all.

I have never encountered this before. Anyone know what this could mean? Should I be giving up on the egg or keep incubating? Any advice would be great! thank you.

Note: The eggs are at the 9 day mark.
