Wings keep getting weird texture issues (recent)

Using POSERPRO2014 so there's no confusion.
Recently I've been having a problem with some wings.
They're some Malaik wings have I have altered.
Basically I took the textures and just recolored them completely black so they would look how I wanted them to.
Normally I don't have much of a problem with them but recently they've been coming out weird.
They are supposed to be all black, but certain feathers come out white.
At first I thought it had something to do with them being over some effects I use (Jepez, I think I can't remember the exact name)
But when I had the problem again I decided to render them on their own so I could just merge the pics in photoshop, but even on their own, they are having the same issue.
So here's one picture, that I did recently. This has been edited to get rid of a big issue but you can still see they are white when they are supposed to be black.
The second picture is when I rendered JUST the wings. So you can see where it's completely white where there is ust a random stripe of black like the textures don't fit.
BUT THEY DO
This doesn't happen ALL THE TIME and I never change anything at all. I mean seriously I have two light helper pose settings. Two. So that means I rarely change them. Ever. And the render settings never change either so really I change nothing so I don't know why it does it on occasion.
Then there's a pic of where they don't mess up
It seems to be happening more and more recently though and I do not understand why.
Please read all of this before asking me a question that I have already answered here.
I generally would not ask this but I'm already irritated and people seem to do this all the time and it drives me absolutely crazy.

a SR could've changed something in the material room.
could you post a screen cap of your material settings?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean...
In which area?
Can you give me specifics on exactly what I am supposed to screenshot ?

the material settings, as much as you can show me. not sure what exactly is causing the problem but if i can see what the settings are i may be able to figure it out
How did you "recolor" the wing texture? By changing the diffuse channel or actually creating a new wing texture using the templates and a graphics app?
Have you checked each of the material zones on the wings to make sure the mats have applied properly to each of them. These wings are very detailed and have quite a few mat zones.
Could be the wrong texture map for the group of feathers or could be the gloss value that could be making it shine to much hence the white.
