Most of the interspecies crosses are of the beardless types.

There are several of the bearded type.  ALPHA GNU by Brad 
Kasperek comes immediately to mind.  Also I think BLUEBERRY 
FILLY has species blood, but it was not registered as Spec-X.

 I think the hybridizer may have a choice in the matter at 
registration, depending upon the amount of species appearance of 
the
clone.

A similar occurrence, though not of species origin, occurs with 
quarter arilbreds.  They may be registered as regular bearded if 
they
don't show aril characteristics.  SATAN'S MISTRESS is a good 
example. 
It is one quarter aril, but you would never suspect it.
