.......is a killer example of an extreme case of "hypo-E" being expressed!!,...or maybe even anery, but who really knows without laboratory testing. All that can be said for sure, is it certainly ain't red!, nor is there any yellow/cream colored pigmentation. Hard to say which chromataphores are really responsible there, as erythrophores and xanthophores can often act in conjunction with each other depending on many different variables.
Many of the hypo-E animal's I've seen start out basically normal orangey/red, then gradually get much lighter ontogenically as they mature, so there is obviously a DEFINITE difference between these two types of bloodlines.
