Motley? Cubed? Amel?

Hey guys. I just picked up this beautiful boy(?) last night from someone off of Craigslist for fifty dollars. She didn't know much about him or her because she rescued him from someone who was basically starving him or her.
Anyway, I have a couple questions I was hoping some of you might have ideas on:

Is this simply an amel? I've never seen an adult. He or she is supposed to be about 3 or 4, but I think younger. The lady thought it was called sunkissed or something else.

Second, and third: Is this a motley or even possibly a cubed. She/ he looks to have square markings rather than circles.

Sorry the pics aren't very good. I'll post more soon once my new baby (I think I'm naming Zeppelin, btw) settles in a bit more.

He was used in petting zoos for a while and is incredibly friendly and fearless, even of my cats!

Thanks so much,
Daneale

For colour morph, I'd say a really nice bright amel, too much white to be a sunglow and the pattern looks normal to me. Nice rescue!
 
Thanks for your opinions. Like I said; I've never seen an adult amel, nor even an adult corn, in person. Hard to believe, when I've turned into such a "corny" in such a short while!!
She/he seems to still be a tad underweight, so I'll have to do something about that in short order. I didn't have anything else, because I wanted expecting to get her/him, but he did gulp down three of the biggest pinks I had in the freezer in quick order.

Thanks again,
Daneale
