I agree its hypermelanistic lol
They kind of are the same. I think it usually is used to discern between totally black and mostly black with some pattern...but that is mostly just my opinion, certainly not a quantifiable fact.
I think it is cool that the pigment developed over time like the erythristics do. That's one thing I have always enjoyed about growing up "ugly duckling"mediocre erythristics that nobody wanted to buy and watching them turn into "beautiful swans" as adults.
I definitely want to get some of these in my collection at some point. Maybe cross with the golden ery and see what happens.
