    Yellow Belly? (Big Pics Inside)

    OK guys, still whittling down the mystery I was handed last month, and something was brought up to me at the last Taylor show. Need your help, because I have a heck of a time ID'ing YB's. Please excuse the size of the pics, I didn't want to resize them too small and possibly lose some detail.

    What do you think, YB or something else?

    The coloring and the flaming that I can see make me want to say yes, but the belly looks wrong so I want to say no.

    It looks like it could be a Russo. They can look similar to YBs but that might explain the difference in the belly markings. However, I'll refer to the experts for final say.

    Yb's belly is speckled train track-like marking. The one on the picture is not speckled like the usual Ybs that I see. This is kinda hard for me but I'll say no-not a Yb.

    I agree the belly is not a typical YB belly so I say no.

    Here are some pics of my YB for comparison, the sides of the belly are checkered. Hope this helps a bit.

    It tries to be a yb but I don't believe it is a yb.

    I would like to see more flaming on the sides. But I'd definitely breed it and see if you get any baby YBs. That would be the best way to find out
