What is this morph?

It's a pretty basic two-gene morph.

Two genes? Is it diffused + redfactor you have in mind?
Have redfactor been tested out as a single gene?

I have always thought bloodreds are the result of the diffusion gene + selective breeding (for red and good diffusion pattern).

The young snake on the pic will most likely develop to a very handsome Bloodred snake.
 
As I understand it, "bloodreds" were diffused that were selectively bred for a darker red color. In the case of this snake, the hypo gene is also evident and has almost completely removed the black borders from the saddles. A typical blood red/diffused would still show the black borders at this size.

My understanding is that the original Bloods in the -80´s had a hypo look, without mush of black borders, but that they looked hypomelanistic without any single recessive gene.
