Woma vs Hidden Gene Woma

[mainbutter]

I understand they're two different morphs BUT what are the key characteristics to distinguish by appearance a Woma from a Hidden Gene Woma?

I’ve looked at both and can’t tell one from the other.

From the VERY few I've seen, HG womas are a bit busier-patterned.. however, your dilemma is the exact reason that HG womas were thought to be womas from the get-go. They just look very similar.

The only real way to tell is to know the parents.
