There is no Americas standard for this color yet, but if one were written it would certainly be expected to include the nice contrast between top color and belly that you see on this male, along with the richly bi-colored whiskers and dark toenails. He throws in that incredible tufty, thick tail for free! His overall body type is good; even more heft would be welcome. Face is a bit long. I would have liked a pure profile shot of him, but we all know we don't always get what we want when photographing gerbils!
