Most will lose the mesh pattern as they grow.

Thanks everyone. I figured It was a retic but I usually just see the ones with the grey body with really light orange/tan spotting (like my male) I have never seen such a bright color on the retic. I have heard that the pattern fades as they get older and bigger and I am prepared for that, but have my hopes up that maybe it will stick with her! lol. Thanks for all the replies!

Cute ray, definitely retic. You can tell by the flap that runs along the underside of the tail

Oh really? I didn't know that's how you could tell! No other rays have that?

I like her - very nice indeed.
BTW, I got recently 2 caquetas (also called red flower/red retic...) male and female (pregnant) that are very different in pattern but for sure of the same kind - by tail length and color/size and pattern on the outers of the bottom side of the disc.

These Colombian rays may really look different.
