Them wings look done to me. The bottom 3 the pink you are seeing is from the smoke. The top one looks like it is just a very fresh wing. I had some chicken quarters that the bones looked like the top one. They were cooked to 170 IT and the juices were clear so I know they was done.  I asked my butcher why this was and he said very fresh chicken.
Sorry for the gnarly chowed-on picture, but I'm getting pink in the wings too, so I thought I'd post for feedback. As purchased they were pre-cut and injected, and I cooked 8-lbs of them in a WSM at 225-250 for 2-1/2 hours without peeking!  I did not take any internal temps.

I also smoke mine around 240 for 2-2.5 hours and finish on the grill. But next time I'm going to smoke them at 230 for 1 hour 45 mins. then crank the MES 30 all the way up to 275 for the last 30 mins. to see how crispy that makes the skin, so I can hopefully skip grilling them.

From a butcher in Oz that smokes wings & marylands in smoker. If you put them in a brine solution the salt in brine solution will make the meat stay a bit more pink than normal making it look underdone. I normally do up to 40 kgs (100pound a time) 120deg celcius for 3hrs all turns out great. Cheers
