i think its a cinny

It sure looks similar to a black pastel. It is weird you would get a black pastel out of a pewter, unless the pewter's sire/dam had a mistaken identity. That could easily happen, some people might not notice, or they are traders and don't really care to know what morph it is as long as they make money.

I'm not totally sold on the black pastel and the cinny being two different morphs. I could easily see them being two different lines of the same morph. I guess if you sell it, just explain that it "should" be a cinny, but could be a black pastel because of mistaken identity in the past.

Edit
Holy cow he's a dark pewter! I would be willing to bet he's a black pewter.

Nope, its not a cinny.. The cinnamons do not have the bright yellow face stripes. They are more of a brownish color. Plus the top of the head is the color of cinnamon.

This is a cinnamon.
See the head color and the color of the stripes along the sides of her face? They are almost the same color as the head, making it very hard to see them.

Even on this baby, the head stripes are not yellow. Just lighter than the adults head stripes. The head color and stripes is the easiest way to tell black pastels from cinnys.

I say black pastel as well. I'm not seeing the light brown faded head and the pattern shouts black pastel:gj:
