If you look at the side of a normal there will be a variety of colors in the sides - varied browns, and a speckling of black and sometimes white. They also gain more black on the sides as they age. The Leopard doesn't really do that. It's all one very consistent color in their "alien heads."

Sorry if that's not the best technical description. I may have a much better eye than I do teaching skills, but when Leo is present it is absolutely and immediately evident to me. Just as it is with your male there

I'd recommend just exposing yourself to as many photos as possible until your eye catches on a bit more. Here's a couple Leos we have over here.
Awesome info sir!! Thank you very much!!
