Super pastel lesser or lesser pastel?

So I picked up this little guy, the owner said he was a lesser pastel but from the pictures I'm finding he's extremely light. Is this just because he's still young (about 600g) or is he maybe a super pastel lesser? He looks more like the pictures for that.

The head is the easiest way to tell. Supers normally have an almost white area on the top of her head. Pastels have a lot of blushing, but normally not completely white. Single gene lessers have a brown head. These guys are hatchlings but you can see the difference. Left to right Super Pastel Lesser, Lesser, Pastel Lesser.

Not seeing super in the little bit of the head we can see.

I agree with everyone else that it's a Lesser Pastel. If it's any help, Lesser/Butter Pastels only get lighter and brighter with age. So while he's young (600g is a good size!), expect him to fade even brighter as time goes on. Here's a good comparison of a baby and adult Butter Pastel for reference:

Ok. I wasn't sure what the tell was between the two. I always thought that it would be like a pastel and get kind of darker with age. I've just got a really bright guy then. Lesser pastels have really wonky patterns. Thanks for the help
