Let me just start by saying I don't mind what it turns out to be, I bought it because I liked how it looked not because of a name. It was advertised as an "amel pinstripe" I couldn't find a picture of a pinstripe but it looks like a stripe to my untrained eye, however some people on RFUK disagree. One says it's not an amel and one says it looks like a normal motley stripe.
I'm hoping you guys can tell me exactly what it is from these pics :)

| From the images I've seen on google it looks like a striped corn to me but not a motley. Someone pointed out that amel = pink eyes which this one doesn't have. |

I think its a normal motley.. motley can be confused with a stripe and Im pretty sure yours is a motley..
could also be a hypo.. ian or some one else will be able to help you more though

| motley can manifest as just a top pattern with no lateral markings like that one in the link which is the motley pattern that is seen the most but it can also appear as a stripe similar to yours, sometimes referred to as a pinstripe.. |

Well it has black eyes, so its not an amel. It looks like a hypo to me, but im not sure on the pattern. I dont think its classed as a stripe because of the squares on the back.
Eeji will know.

| If it helps at all the underside is completely white, no markings at all. |

He looks like the corn I bought off Mick , Mojo .
He was classed on here "Hypo stripe" |
One last jump , that's all we have to take Holth .
Wearily the old queen gathered heself to spring ;
Moreta gratefully began her litany .
Black , blacker , blackest -
They went between . |
