Pastel lesser.

How does one tell the difference between a lesser and a pastel lesser?

I have a tough time with that one as well...

I think pastel lessers are easy to differentiate when looking at the head. Although to be honest the pastel lesser pictured above just looks like a lesser to me. I guess some are harder than I thought.

I've been shopping around for a pastel lesser for quite some time.

There are some lessers that are high yellow, but it's not the norm. Also the pastel lesser often has a faded head.

In person it's pretty easy, yellow instead of gold. My citrus pastel lesser...

It also depends on the quality of the pastel lesser. Some are very easy to tell and others you just have to believe the breeder. I have seen some posted online that I do not believe are pastel lessers. Usually the head is the best indicator.
