What's the real frequency?

No. E = hν
Yes, because of the uncertainty principle.
But very easy to determine what it was before you measured it!
Thanks to indeterminacy you can't predict the energy of a given photon, nor the time at which it will arrive at a point, with absolute accuracy, but as far as the photon is concerned it only has one energy.

Do you now realize that the sparkling is not quantized?We know for sure that electronic sensors are spatially quantized, although it isn't necessarily true that every pixel has the same size or sensitivity. Do you think it has no observable effect?

But these are not enough to explain the sparkling effect.
The presence of other effects, like diffraction, flaring, scattering, and various sizes of the ripple makes it hard to exclusively observe the sparkling effect.
If you are still convinced that there's no quantization effect whatsoever in the sparkling of rippling water surface when reflecting sunlight, I'm curious what does it take to make you change your mind?

Use a calorimeter or photocell to determine E.
I've recorded for a new video showing this sparkling effect. In one of the cut scenes, there's visible effect of diffraction caused by trace of wiped sweat on the camera glass. But the sparkling tiny bright spots don't seem to be diffracted.
