has it moulted out yet, or is it still to young , just a hint harv , to get it to be a new mutation you need to breed a few of them and not just one offs, the key is to produce the same colour in a few generations ( with zebs its easy) as it may not produce that colour in its offspring... Pete

Another photo in a few weeks or so when it has matured a bit would have a far greater chance of an accurate identification of the mutation(s).
