Help with identifying morph

I have hatched this young gecko that i have difficulty identifying the morph of. What morph is this gecko?
The picture with the sibling is in more natural lightning. The photos with the gecko on its own got a bit bright.

Looks like a yellow-based phantom with the dal-trait and pinstriping

Phantom can be a bit tricky - It’s a recessive that suppresses/heavily reduces the typical harlequin pattern-colours (orange and white pattern) and darkens the gecko overall, but especially on the dorsal. So basically anything patternless/bicolour, and lacking white/orange pattern in general, but especially on the dorsal. The pinning is also typically dark/same as the base except for near the tail-root, and the tail is also typically significantly darker.
