Hello! Our blue lynx point siamese cat has given birth to 4 beautiful kittens. All of them have points but one seems to have some white spots on her. They all have some orange color on their faces. What could the father cat look like?

Do you have some good pictures of both mom and babies? The red gene is sex-linked and comes only from the mother. If the kittens really have red in them the mother must also have red. Are you sure she's not a tortie lynx point? It's also possible that the orange color is just a very warm brown background.

Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb here judging by the pictures you posted. I think the babies are brown mackerel tabbies with really warm undertones, no red genes in them. The father would be in the black/brown color range. There's no way of telling if he's a tabby, tabby & white, or black & white. The one thing he can't be is blue. If both parents are dilute all the babies will be dilute as well since that's a recessive trait.
As I understand it, none of them is a point, all seems to be tabbies... Thus, the father was a tabby, probably a homozygot tabby. Probably, because the mom is lynx / tabby too, so theoretically, he could have just one tabby gene. He is not point, and no point carrier. He has possibly some white spot on him, if one of the kittens has a white spot. (ie he carries the white spot gene - which is strong and shows off on the kittens - statistically should be two kittens here, but statistics arent ironclad.

Momma is a point, being darker on the pointed parts of the body, tail ears, paws, the face masque. AND blue eyes.. "siamese mix"
Therre is also the burmanese point, more dark all over, but they are quite rare.
