Is this a bright Special?

Is this a special? Seems a bit bright and lacking some of the graininess in the pattern.

Pairing was Pastel Special Pied x Pastave, snake is 100g.

I was considering pastel, but the pastel from the clutch has much more distinct head blushing and a different shade of body blushing.

Thanks for any help.

I'm more inclined to say dark Mojave than special. Cute little one tho

With that wishbone shaped headstamp, it could be a Special. Do you know anything about the Pastel Special Pied's parents and if there is a chance it was mis-ID'd? I agree with Armiyana that it looks closer to a dark Mojave or even Mystic. The tones are a bit more abnormal from wild type, where Specials tend to have pretty close to wild type colors and the greater indication is in pattern.
