dappling
Scattered light patches
Dappling is the pattern of spots or patches of light and shadow, or the process of creating such a pattern.
Sunlight filtering through leaves produces dappling on the ground below.
The term extends to any mottled coloring: the dappling on a horse's coat, dappling of light across the water.
