I don't know if you can call that a sunglow because he has no white but I think he doesn't look red enought. But if it is a sunglow motley it still is an amel motley, you can't mis by calling him an amel motley
 
What ever it is it is a stunning snake. Does sunglow just mean lack of white or is it a genetically distinct morph?
 
Looks like a beautiful Sunglow Motley to me. To answer your initial question erwin: 'amel motley or sunglow motley?'

BOTH! All sunglow motleys are also amel motleys.

But that doesn't work the other way around. All sunglow motleys are amel motleys, but NOT all amel motleys are sunglows.

Sunglow is a line-bred trait; showing no white. There's not a specific 'sunglow' gene.
 
Personally, I would not call this snake a sunglow. I think the point of sunglow is no-white, AND a bright ground color. Compare the above to Don Soderberg's motley sunglows at http://cornsnake.net and you'll see why I think ground color is important. ;)
 
Well, in this situation, I think the fact that it has no white really isn't relevant because it seems the motley trait is taking care of that anyways. In a Sunglow Motley, I'd expect to see some brilliantly bright red saddles and orange ground color. Though that is a very very nice snake, I would just call it an amel motley. :)
