If its the right one does the stripe get wider the further down or is that an illusion... ???? Also the stripe appears to bleed which tessera seems to prevent 'normally'?!?!?
Yes, the right one. Not sure how many Stripes Iv'e seen with a perfect full head pattern???
Also, the stripe does fade a little down close to the tail, but it does continue to the tail tip.
Yeah, I'd agree with Nanci and Steve. If that's just a normal stripe, it is by far the BEST example of a stripe the world has ever seen. I really do think they're both tesseras, but the one in question is a tessera stripe. Heck, half the clutch should be striped, so it should be expected to get some killer tessy stripes in the clutch.
This striped Tessera was on here breeding loan from Don @ SMR for the 2011 & 2012 seasons. I produced some fantastic striped Tessera's and normal patterned Tesseras with some great hets from him. The last photo is a regular patterned Tessera /100% het stripe. A product of the pairing pictured above.
As I understand it, the only thing that would determine whether it is a tessera or not is if the stripe goes beyond the vent. I got this from Don who has held this belief since striped tesseres came out. All the striped regular corns (even the fully striped ones) stop at the vent (some with that cool bowtie at the end). As Don has said this has been true for all the striped tesseras he has hatched and sold but could change as we breed more tesseras who seem to make near perfect stripes and motleys into regular corns.

I thought it was the opposite, Steve, but I wouldn't go so far as to say always..
Look at the Striped Motley Amber Tesseras head pattern the stripes and it, are one. The arrowhead head pattern turns into striping. The Striped Ambers head pattern is reduced and separate from the striped at the neck (Not touching). Maybe not always, but at least on the ones Iv'e seen so far. Also like John said the stripes continue down the length of the tail.
