Identifying color of pigeon

[Wyandottes7]

I have two three-week-old Baldhead Roller pigeon squabs. One is definitely a Blue Bar, but I don't know the color on the other one. The father pigeon was a Blue Bar and the female was a Blue Check. I'm looking for ideas on what color the unidentified squab is.

This is the unidentified squab.

The whole family. The cock is on the left and the hen is on the right.

It looks like. A barless dilute blue

Sounds right, dilute and pale are modifiers not colors.
eta that is my favorite site for genetics!

Thanks for the links and suggestions! Pigeon genetics sure are complex. It does seem like the squab is a dilute barless blue (I guess the "official" name would likely be Dun Barless). The father and mother must have both carried "barless" and the father must have carried the dilute allele of the blue gene. If the squab really is a Dun Barless, then it must be a female.
