Oh, and here's the "table of contents" so to speak, for the hunters guide's. Just in case you're up for some learning ;)

It certainly looks like it could be one, but a higher res picture would help in making a definite decision.

Looks to me like it might be a mystic. The pattern is off to be a pastel IMO. better pics would help greatly

I was under the impression mojo's and mystics were nearly impossible to tell apart from the top? That it was the belly that gave it away? (This is a question, as I would greatly love to be schooled on the differences)

Also, OP: My reply in your other thread links to the hunter's guide for Mojave's, which identifies key traits to look for when ID'ing a Mojo. (non-blushed head, flames, key hole pattern, contrasting colors etc) It has pictures that shows you what is what.

Edit: This is probably easier...heh

It is really hard to tell, but mystics tend to have more "normal" or wildtype coloration, where as Mojo's are more yellowish, and higher contrasted. At least that's what I've noticed. But your right, more pics are needed to be sure!

Hopefully this is more clear?

mojo. Much clearer photos, much more easy to identify. Mojave

Both of your threads are now merged.

Hmmmm, the three mystics I have currently in my collection are VERY yellow and high contrast. Her last pictures, below look more like my mystics than my mojave.

Thanks Robin!

The experience I have had with them, that's how I have told the difference but your right! Those Mystics are VERY yellow :O - They are gorgeous!
