Classic or Okeetee? Or?

Someone needs help on this morph. I'm saying normal but she thinks Okeetee. Both the same snake. What are your thoughts?

Unless she knows for certain that this animal was captured in Jasper County, I would have to say a normal.
 
It could also be from Okeetee lines, morph or locality. Not every one in a clutch is a stunner . Unless it was acquired from a reputable source that can give some background iit is a pretty normal
 
I very much agree with the others. It could even be drab and ugly, or bright purple :) and still be a locality "Okeetee" if it is KNOWN to be from the 50,000 acre Okeetee estate property in Jasper County. However going by generic looks alone with no parental lineage history, it's a very nice normal.

To be classified as a non-locale "Okeetee phase" corn, it would typically have wide black saddle borders and rich orange and red coloration such as Lee Abbott's, Kathy Love's, and other selective-bred Okeetee phase animals are. And even those can vary substantially within any given clutch.

Yours is a very nice looking corn too, just not quite what I would stretch to be coined an Okeetee phase. Now if you can trace the animal directly back to wild Okeetee stock from Jasper county, it doesn't matter WHAT it looks like.....it would be an Okeetee regardless of the look.
