Short call is not considered being on duty. Your duty day starts when you report for the trip. Whitlow does require that you can look back and find 8 hours rest in the previous 24 hours however that would not apply to the DH back. Your legal FAR wise and you are legal contractually.
Short call is not duty time and short call is not rest for Whitlow. Some get the two confused.
