Yellow Belly versus Normal

So I'm still not sure what is actually "classified" as a yellow belly. From what I've heard, its all genetic and nothing you can physically see. Can you tell? And if so, please post a picture of a yellow belly next to a normal and point out what makes the yb, a yb please. haha. Thanks!

Yellow belly is a co-dom and the super form is the Ivory.

It is a "visual" het that looks nothing like a normal IMO.
Flames from head to tail, head spot, belly with little squiggly lines running down the sides unlike normals that have wide squiggly lines.

My pastel has that exact flaming on his sides. Could that mean he's a yb? I'll post pics when he's done shedding.

Unless it was sold to you as a pastel yellow belly I highly doubt it is, but stranger things have happened.
