Is this a pastel?

Yes, it's an underweight pastel.

I'll just on the old, skinny pastel train.

100% Pastel. A little thin and browned out, but a Pastel nonetheless!

Thats definetly a pastel. Just a browned out one. In the first pic you can see the eye is green.

Looks like a really poor quality pastel. Is it a male? If so you might want to pass. Decent male pastels are a dime a dozen now.
