From what I've seen in some many large adult size P.ornatipinnis have solid dark color while P.ornatipinnis that are smaller than 16" have some mottled patterns that shows up when they are pale.
Even P.palmas palmas and P.mokelembembe will have solid stripes if keep in red or tan substrates or are settled down in there environment. If you look closely at a P.delhezi and P.weeksi, they will also show some mottled patterns. Some large senegalus that are kept in a black substrates will also develop some mottled patterns on the head area and dorsal area of the body.
It's really hard to classified there pattern classification.
