I could be wrong, but I'm leaning toward lower expression enchi just based on the lighter coloration, the minor blushing I'm seeing in the blacks, and the extra lightening towards the belly. A better pic that includes the head and a better profile of the pattern may clear it up one way or the other.

That and I'm looking at it after the OP listed what they were told by the previous owner, which may bias me to see more than what's there.
