Default Baby axies; what colour?

So I have around 10 baby axies, they hatched around four weeks ago and are doing just fine. I can work out what colour they're going to be as I don't know who the parents are. They're currently quite clear with black spots. So they're definitely not albino because they have pigmented eyes, they look far too clear to be wildtype, so I guess they're some sort of leucistic?? I've attached some pictures. Any ideas?

I could be wrong but they look like they will all be wild type except maybe the lightest one in the middle picture. If I were to bet I would say all wild type. You really can't tell till they are a bit bigger.
