Morph ID help?

So, I work in a pet shop that has a number of reptiles. Not many, but that's okay.
Anyway, we received this snake labelled as an 'anathrystic'. I assumed they meant anerythistic. However, this snake has since developed red patches behind it's eyes, and now I look at the pictures of it, it's... definitely not an anery. I've had the suggestion of ghost, and I also thought it could even possibly be a cinder (though I think that's probably very unlikely!)

So.
Help please?

I would say it is exactly as it was labeled, an anery. The blackness of the saddle bands tell me that hypo is not involved. Many anerys get very light after a few sheds.

Same anery motley after 1st shed in June, then in August and in December:

Thanks for input so far! like I say, I'm hesitant to call him anery, as he has red developing on his head. Not an Anery trait, as far as I'm aware!
 
The red on his cheeks is not pigment. It's blood shining through.

Vanay here is a charcoal, which is a type of anery. And he has pink cheeks.

Would it still definitely be blood if it's a very dark red colour? It's not really a pink blush. I should mention he's only about 3 months old, so he's only had a couple of sheds so far.
 
It's not a very dark red color in your photo. It looks just like Vanay's 'blushing'. He's an anery.
 
You might be surprised at the colors some anerys can get!
