the calico fry are a yellowish color with brownish spots. when my pair had their fry, the babies were the same color as the photos. once they get older, their color gets darker to what their parents are.

i had some that were darker than others. the lighter ones seemed to die sooner than the darker ones or it may just be the color. are your calicos mixed (different colored parents/grandparents)? it might be that. when mine were born, they were the same color as yours then they stared to get darker over the yellow color. dont worry. they're marble bristlenoses so they will change color when older.
