Here's my thoughts...
What you probably have is a "Reverse Okeetee" bred to a motley/stripe. If the person selling it to you didn't quite know what he was talking about, he might have easily shortened it to Reverse Motley. And since a Reverse Okeetee really is just a pretty amelanistic, chances are you have a pretty amelanistic motley-stripe.
I wouldn't feel disappointed in any way. If you have an okeetee, I wonder if you could breed the stripe out and have some nice reverse okeetee babies. Those probably would be pretty rare in europe, as Okeetee is simply a locality trait, and not easily found overseas!
Again, these are just my thoughts...

Hey,
Nice snake! Just to let you know there is such a thing as a reverse motley (we have a reverse motley ghost). They are quite rare, the term hasn't caught on in the US yet apparantly but is more common in Europe (this is according to Kathy Love whom I emailed about our snake). From the photo you posted, your snake looks more like a amel stripe but then again, I don't know enough to judge them! I'll try and post a pic of ours to show you what I've been told characterises the reverse motley morph. Here is what Kathy emailed me:
Hi,
I have heard some people refer to a certain motley pattern as a reverse motley (more so in Europe than in the US). I have one reverse type motley myself (a creamsicle). It's not just that the color shows through the pattern - many ghosts do that. The pattern is usually small bits of circles, squares, etc, set on mostly the background color. Difficult to describe, but can see it in a photo instantly. If you have seen a number of regular motleys, you will know if this one is a different type and looks like the reverse of the usual pattern. You probably won't see it on many breeder lists, if any, as the term hasn't caught on here. But most corn breeders would probably know what you mean if you called it a reverse motley.
It is very difficult to tell which are ghosts and which are anerys when they are motleys, because it seems the motley pattern distributes the black pigment in such a way that it is difficult to tell just how much there is in total, esp. when comparing to a non-motley ghost or anery. So if you breed, it is possible that you may get anery babies - just so you are not surprised.
