Sorry I disagree, the blushing on yours is different (wrong in my opinion), the overall coloration is off, she has no "hooks" or weird markings on her back (just partial Striped) like Phantoms generally do.. I would also be willing to bet her belly isn't like the pic I just posted , and also that she lacks green eyes , phantoms have eyes that look like Mojave eyes.. I think yours looks more like a Harlequin than a Phantom. I'd say whoever you got her from knows Phantoms better than you, that's why they sold it and didn't just keep it..



I bred a female like yours to a Mystic last summer , I did produce some crazy Mystics , BUT didn't make a "Super" with her, she even had weird "hooks" on her back and looked like a phantom in "some" ways but she isn't one, 8 eggs likely would have hit on a Super if she was..



I have a pretty good eye for this morph and I will say Pitoon has one that looks REAL close to what one should look like but this one you have is about a 5 1/2-6 on a 10 scale.. Pitoons would be an 7 1/2 - 8 on the same scale to me.. I would also rank a Mystic as a 9-9 1/2 on the same scale, likely it's higher than that for those who know what they are looking at but just to be safe that's where I put them at today.. Ask me that 1-10 scale question in about 40 more days and it may even go up a little higher based on what I'm seeing in the way of a Pastel Mystic. Anthony McCain.
