I am not sure what or how else to refer to it other than it looks like the material is glistening.

 

Is there a correct term for what I am experiencing? In prints where the nozzle comes back to fill in various locations in the layer, it seems the lines have variations in appearence. When I print an uninterrupted square, i.e. the nozzle can start in one corner and make one continuous sweep of diagonal lines, I don't notice this. However, whenever the layer has holes, the nozzle start to lay down the fill in one area, moves to another section, and then comes back to fill in the voids. Is this the effect of the earlier material cooling as compared to the freshly printed material?

 

I hope the clarity shows up in these pictures.

    It's just light reflecting off the different lines differently, depending on the direction and order in which they're printed. If you turn on Top/Bottom > Monotonic Top/Bottom Order in Cura it'll make sure to print them so they all reflect light the same way.
