Pinto beans are tawny in color when cooked. Fresh out of the pod, they are white with reddish spots. I have never seen a spotted roach, but there are plenty that are light brown, a color close to cooked pinto beans. Perhaps cucaracha pinta is a term used to distinguish them from blackish roaches. I'm not sure if the variance in the color indicates subspecies or a phase a roach's life.
