Plain-bellied dark Florida kings

Plain white or yellow bellies are often associated with nice looking brooksi kings. It's not a rule though... I've found several dark Florida kings with plain bellies... this one I found in 2004 in Palm Beach County:

I have never found it to be a rule. The only thing I noticed was that the Love hypos had a plain yellow belly and the Beard hypos had lots of flecks. Otherwise that stuff about Bill Love and plain bellies is not true. It may have been for a particlar area where they were getting their florida kings from. SO it may have been the collecting area they were hitting (if small) had this occurance.

Otherwise I have not found any ryme to plain or flecked bellies. I had lots of flecked belly high yellow normals.
