So we got our beardie from a pet store*, and we.. noticed something since - though they were in the non-'fancy'(morph) enclosure with the rest of the common beardies, Feanor doesn't really look like the others in that tank? Which we noticed after deciding on them.
They aren't really grey at all (save for the tip of the tail, but they're shedding that so it's possible that's not actually the case), and this is our first beardie so we really don't know enough about morphs to be able to tell if maybe the kiddo was mis sorted or something or if this is just a normal coloration of common beardies too.
The phone changes colors a little when I take pics, but I tried to get them as close as possible. Feanor looks like they're shedding their tail and the top of their head right now, so those are duller. The back of their head and their back have some distinct bright orange lines and their back legs are um.. weirdly pink? As if the scales were more translucent there.
*I know it's better to get the kids from a breeder, there just aren't any in our area which plus lack of car makes that nigh impossible (and we honestly felt bad for the ones at the store when we visited).

Color can change as they shed and they usually shed in stages, not all body parts at the same time. Can you get a closer pic of his back ? Looks like a possible leatherback, just not a smooth one. And if his nails are totally clear with no trace of a greyish line through them then he is also a hypo. More stores get certain morphs in because they are so common now that all the breeders have them + sell them along with " normal phase " dragons.
