Identifying fry? Hybrid?

Can't Post

This is new to me. Friday night while skimming the pond my wife netted a fry! There were no signs of spawning at all so this was a bit of a shock.
We managed to net about thirty of the fry and placed them in the hospital tank.
My pond is lightly stocked. I have 2 shebunkin goldfish, 1 sarassa comet, and 1 koi (goshinki sanke IIRC).
There are TWO different fry in the hospital tank. A dark green fry and a white fry with pink/red throat and black eyes. Could this be from two seperate hatches?
I read that the hybrid fry could appear as black or dark green. That might explain some of the fry, but what about the white ones? Very interesting.
The only thing I could think of is the koi male and one of the other goldfish male milting over a comon female's eggs?  Any info greatly appreciated.
BTW, I'm not familiar with sexing fish so my above hypothesis is purely speculation
