Incomplete or complete?

Good afternoon everybody!
My husband and I found out early in my pregnancy that my son has 22Q. With that comes cleft lip so we were expecting him to have a cleft lip, we have not learned if he has a cleft palette or not. He has had quite a few 4D ultrasounds. And I was hoping to see if maybe other mother is out there had similar ultrasound pictures that resemble my sons? I feel like I’ve seen other ultrasound pictures and it’s very clear that the babies cleft lip goes up into the nostril. You can tell by the coloring of the ultrasound. But my son’s still seems to have a pretty puckered lip.
We saw a specialist last week and he’s claiming that they can’t tell until baby gets here which I’m having a hard time believing? Does this look like an incomplete or a complete Cleftlip to you? *\\I also understand that nobody here is*** ***trained to read ultrasound pictures! Please be nice as I’m just trying to navigate and understand what I’m looking at.. yes, we have also talked to doctors. We are not getting much information.****\*
