That's not a Pastel Lesser...What was the breeding that produced it?
Looks like YB in there...
Seriously. I completely agree. I've seen tons of lesser pastels and this doesn't even seem possible in the range of those genetics.... Yes, BPs can have crazy polymorphism in their genetic combinations, but this seems too much. There's gotta be more, unless it is indeed a het or double het and that "underlying" gene(s) is not acting at all like simple recessive (because neither of them probably are) and is drastically affecting the appearance.
Regardless, that is a gorgeous ball with some incredible contrast.

Parents are Pastel lesser 100% double Het clown hypo x 100% double Het clown hypo.
One of the sisters was a Pastel Lesser Hypo Clown. The other sister was also a Pastel Lesser PH that looked more wonky that the breeder is holding back. Looking at the sister, I believe that the sister will prove out for sure. I don't think this girl is too far off.
Personally, I have never thought clown as truly recessive. And there are tons of examples of Hets visually changing the regular phenotype. I'm hoping this may be one of those examples.
