Dilute acts as a hypopanchromic. It reduces the intensity of all pigments, not just the black pigment that hypomelanism reduces. Test breeding to another snake known to be het or homo dilute is the only way to prove out the morph.
 
Also, while not a completely tell-tale sign, most dilutes shed clear, where a non-dilute will generally have pigmented sheds.
