That's how I took it too.

OP: Yes that's a pastel and I don't think it's a bad quality one personally. Yellow coloring with darker topline, jungle-y pattern, blushing, greens eyes, and clear bellies are some ways to tell a pastel from a normal. In time you get an "eye" for distinguishing different morphs.
