No ultramels do not have black eyes all of the time. An ultramel is a sort of "missing link" between amel and ultrahypo. If amel has 0% melanin, and ultra 50% melanin, then ultramels would have 25% melanin.
I would say that yours could very well be an ultramel. I really can't see the eyes, which is important in determining the difference, however, one of the ultramel characteristics is a purple tinge to the saddle borders... remnants of melanin in very small amounts. Yours looks like it has those.
Could we maybe get a few more pictures?

Snowflake... Ask the breeder to send you another picture of the critter requesting the eye shot.. This would help us try to ID the critter for you.. The breeder/dealer should be able to provide you with those no problem. Like I said over yonder to me it looks amel, but this is one of those things that is sometimes hard to determine, but the eye's certainly help in the ID of such a critter..
