A question about lighting

I have been playing around in my basement tabletop "studio" and the other night I broke out the ETTL flash, just to see what would happen. You will see that the first image is OK, but the second is much better--truer to the actual bell in color.
Both images were shot at .8 second, f16, 100 ISO, I used my EOS 6D. Also the bell was set on a pedestal inside a light tent. The lights outside the tent were 2 CFLs at 5500K, 2 LEDs at 5500K, and a light shining through the top. The only difference is the flash set on ETTL on the second, so I do not know what setting it used. It is a Yongnuo EX565.
What I do not understand is why is the second one so much "warmer" than the other. I would have thought the flash would wash out, or over expose, the bell, but it appears that just the opposite happened.
What's up with that?
Thx, olc

I’m not anon guy so I’ll defer to them for details but it does look as if the WB is different as well as the exposure. I have foun that sometimes (slightly) underexposing a scene will yield richer color but not change WB. FYI I prefer the exposure of the 2nd image.
