Muscovy color question

I'll have to try and get a pic as soon as it's not freeze all the skin off my face cold outside, but I have a color question. I had a Muscovy clutch hatch that included lilac, blue, and silver. One silver is a closer to white the other closer to blue, and the one in question that looks white. At first I thought it was a white but it had black legs and darker beak and eyes. Then I thought it might be a cream. As it's become an adult it's gotten a very pale, creamish silver color on its head neck and tail while it's body is white, but on the wing bars it has that same darker color in a pattern like the wings of a Hamburg chicken. It's clearly a pattern and it's on both wings. Small spots in rows only on the wing. I've never seen a Muscovy like this, any idea on what pattern or color this girl is? I'll include a juvenile pic since it's all I have at the moment. And the only other waterfowl within miles of them are buff geese, and no exposure for years on the mother either.

Shes not quite as dark as my camera took the pics as and the last one had the contrast turned up to better see the wings. She's looking rough with this cold snap so please forgive that.
