Your instinct about it was right. Pet stores (and many other too) like to dream up all sorts of ridiculous names for their snakes in an attempt to make them "sound" something they aren't and more exotic. One thing's for certain,..........and that is the snake doesn't even remotely resemble what they are attempting to portray it as. The name in itself is pretty much a misnomer anyway, let alone a morph of any kind. It has a very typical wild-caught look to it. That's not to say that it actually IS wild-caught, but there are all sorts of wild corns from different areas of the country that look pretty standard and dark like that.
It does look a bit thin to me too, but I have seen far worse at stores as well.
