Do you think it is a pigment colour change or something like an infection?

Its likely a blended genetics CAE. Very common as the golden ones "peel" for them to be spotty.  Others have true "clown" style pigments, this pied style OB genetics results in changing pigmentation through out their lives. This can be very frustrating as high level betta and goldfish producers know only too well.
