What was it marketed as? If it was being sold as a normal, it is highly likely that it is just a fancy captive hatched (hatched in Africa on a BP farm from a wild female collected gravid) normal.

Some morphs automatically look like het reds. Cinnys and black pastels often have a blackback pattern with messy patterning. Black pastels do have crazy alien heads but the chance of it actually being a het red also is slim.

Try to get some pics and find out what it's being sold as. Het reds are also genetic blackbacks but the only way to prove unknown genetics on those is to breed it.
