Possibly a little pied marking. Check out these photos

I have a couple young with some dark feathers like this. I will be watching to see if they loose it with their adult molt.

Many of the WB SF Yellows I see have a few of these random dark feathers here and there :)

With Turq, when I first got him, he didn't have any.
But when he molted this year, he had a couple - so I think it can change with each molt :)
