Allelism of the series established by Dodson et al . The agouti bands of the individual hairs are lengthened relative to the total hair, and there is a corresponding reduction in the number of all-black guard hairs. The phenotype superficially resembles yellowing , which is a recessive trait, but usually can be distinguished by the greater number of dark guard hairs in wide band . The dorsal-ventral line of demarcation is not as distinct in wide band as in yellowing .
Feet are white.
A few dark brown hairs occur at the base of the ears. There is no tail stripe, with all tail hairs being black. The forepaws are white, as are the toes of the hind foot. The short hairs on the surface of the pinnae are dark brown. The longest vibrissae are black for at least their basal third, although many become lighter distally.
