    Pastel or Normal

    Ran into this one on CL. Owner says it might be a Pastel but after looking at some pics it looks to me like a normal. I'm not good at telling the difference and was hoping to get a second opinion. Thanks in advance.

    That's a normal, pastels have clean bellies aren't that dark brown.

    A good pastel cannot be mistaken for a normal:

    It's a normal, there is no fade line. Even a really browned-out pastel can be told apart from a normal by that.
