It's a gin rin kumonryu. Very neat. This is the first I've seen like it
I by no means consider myself an expert but i do believe thats just the scaleing of certain types of doitsu as seen in the picture below. Cant find the name of that exact type of doitsu scaleing but thats my guess.
I cant find one exactly likes yours online but i did find one that is slightly similar called doitsu magoi kumonryu koi. May not be the official name but thats what the youtube video says it is.

If you notice that the pattern changes substantially, where some black turns to white, then it is a kumonryu. Kumonryu have unstable patterns.
Whatever the final disposition is, please keep us updated with pics. I think this one is unusual and a quite appealing contrast in a pond.
Cool. Thanks. I will send photos when it gets to be a big one!
