What do these look like?

I picked these three up from the Birmingham show and was told they were first generation of a wild caught female and male pair. All are female. But they just look odd to me, not like any normals I've seen. They're a little paler in person, but what do you all think?

Most wild caughts are pretty densely spotted. I guess either through a mutation or more reliable multiple gene activity, some geckos can have reduced spotting. If it's reduced just a bit, the gecko would be a "high yellow", more reduction would be a hypo and complete absence of body spots would be a superhypo. I guess it's possible that the wild caught parents have either mutated or hereditary genes for reduced spotting. I would also guess that once the spotting is reduced, the background color may show up better.

They're cool looking! Super interesting if they were indeed from WC parents. Not sure I can help with morph too much but they do look like high yellow normals.
