My guess or some bad grade. At that size it shouldn’t have that much variation in the head and body color.Platinum or just WTT effect?

Seller was legit offended when I asked whether was it a WTT bichir. Also, with regards to the black spotting, he said it'll disappear as it grows. What do you make of it?
Well if you are a potential buyer then asking to place the fish on a black background will settle everything. The black spotting will go away as it gets bigger for a true platinum.

these are what I meant by lower quality plats. Whats your thoughts? My LFS was offereing some similar to this i believe these to be low quality plat not WTT. As they grow the patterns should fade. Depending on price i would save your money. But i thought that about a different endli when shown the juvi pic and its now stunning.
WTT, platinum, and even that high shine sheen on arowana is so difficult to tell in photos. Depending on the background, substrate, lighting, and how the angle of the pic taken can manipulate.
I've personally seen a WTT jardini and looked platinum/white at some tinge of black at the lfs, but somebody bought it and changed back to normal color.
Here's someboy in my area that purchased it at 3" and grew to be 10". Both pics is the exact fish from store and owner.

Just to show u guys/gals how the substrate or environment can make an impact. Its not related to whether its a platinum or not. It' a regular WC lap. Look at this below. See the drastic difference? Imagine generating an WTTP/ Plat opinion based off photos? Lol
Same local person to me who bought the platinum endli. Purchased this plat. Senegal for under $100 from monster aquarium.
I genuinely had no idea that it was possible for an adult Bichir to shed all its pigmentation to blend in with the environment. Would think that it should retain at least some colouring even after WTT
