Here are pics from day 6. Went to refeed today and got a few pics. On pic # 4 and 5. Looks to be a Queen. The queen I got w/ the package has a marked queen. Big bright neon pink dot. I did not see the marked queen. But I did not look real hard. I just happened to see this queen and tokk some pics. Could the marking fall off? Anyway! Im pretty fired up. I think everthing is looking good. The workers are bringing in pollan like crazy. After I closed it up I sat by the hive watching. One after the other was loaded with either yellow or brite red pollan.

Nice queen.
I guess if you find one with a dot, that would answer your question. The bees will sometimes clean the queen off of the dot.
