A Lesser Pied is not a A Black Eyed Lucy it is a Piebald Lesser!!!
According to Wikipedia, The underlying genetic cause is related to a condition known as leucism. Therefore puts Pied in the Leucistic category. What eye color does Lesser-pied have? Black...So yea....Not saying you have to agree with me, but that's how I see it. That's like saying Super Mojaves are not Blue Eyed Leucistics, but they are.

Ball Pythons are like Pokémon. Gotta Catch 'Em All!
Super Russos have a faint yellow line along the spine
Lesser Pied produce the whitest BEL, with small black eyes and sometimes having lesser spots, not really a BEL
To the OP, as said below, i would be really worried if someone did not know what was in their BEL. I mean there are situations like if you bred a lesser/mojave BEL to a lesser.... then you honestly might not know, but you can explain to someone what you bred.
So why are super fires with patches of yellowish/gold still considered a Black Eye leucistic?
try finding a real medical or biological definition to leucistic, I have yet to find one. heck firefox even thinks I'm spelling it wrong, it's not even in their dictionary. lol
But straight form wikipedia
