What am I?

I work at a pet store and of course could not resist taking home some of our "merchandise".

The owner breeds cresteds and I got what I considered the prettiest one... now I know cresteds have lots of strange names for their morphs and I was wondering what you'd call this one. Aside from the what I think are harlequin markings he (dont know gender for sure yet but I call it a boy haha) also has some dalmation spots, and some of them are red. I think he's gorgeous and has an awesome personality to match. Except he loves to poop on me. But all of my pets do

His name is Ninja

Thanks I mostly just wasnt sure if his back markings would qualify as "harlequin" or not. Browsing around online I've seen some interesting descriptive names, hehe.

he's kind of borderline flame/harlequin, but because he does have some patterning on his limbs and sides i go with harlequin. sometimes that patterning does also increase with age, and when fired up it probably stands out a bit more too.
