In the above photo, of the Albino posted by USMC 3225, is a normal Albino (not a Conda). Mentioning in case there is any confusion.

True, Condas do have black bellies with "white walls" along the sides of the belly.
Although the black belly is not always solid black on all specimens (but there are no actual checkers).
However, unless this has changed, the "white walls" should ~always~ be there, regardless, on a Conda.

You can apply this, to Albino Condas, in that the belly will be clear, or could have a "smattering" of color (no true checkers) on the belly, and will have the belly "white walls".

If things have been found otherwise, in the last several years, am sure someone can correct me.

Meanwhile, a good pic, of the belly, would greatly assist in identification.
