Panda Pied - have you seen this?

Does anyone ever consider, color may have a visual affect on head shape? A head with pattern may look completely different than a head with only a single color. Sometimes the pattern can play tricks on the mind. Maybe all balls have a "duckbill" shape to the head, but the pattern and color make it less pronounced. I personally have never noticed the "duckbill" shape, but maybe I'm not looking at the right animals?

Here's a good example I found on Exotics by Nature's website showing photos from Daytona 07. If you look at the link and page down, there is a group of super cinnamon photos. A good example can be seen in the head shot with the white background where you can clearly see the concave head shape. It's also easy to compare the profile with the photo above it where the snake's head is pretty much in the same position.
