It looks more like a motley "amber" to me. The motley gene also has a tendency to subdue dark pigments in many that would be somewhat more prevalent in a "normal" caramel.

... the belly is devoid of markings, it's a motley. It appears to be either an amber or a gold dust. It's possible that it's a caramel, but I doubt it.

Only breeding trials will tell you if this is a gold dust or amber. Breed it to any red-eyed snake and if you get approximately 50% albinos, it's a caramel ultramel (gold dust).

Beautiful corn. Good luck,
