He looks very leopardy, and the fur length is great for an Amur. However the colour is much more saturated than on an amur, it's more like an African leopard. Amurs average paler, much like how Amur tigers are paler than Bengals.

You're welcome The really hard thing is that there are so few Amur leopards to have reliable references of. The 'Planet Earth' series has some footage of a female and a cub in the wild, which is probably the only footage I can think of that is for sure 100% pure amur leopard. Many of the cats in zoos are a mixed-subspecies leopards, which causes different coat lengths and colours.

I recognized it as an Amur leopard the instant I saw it! I was actually looking up pictures of them earlier today.
Great work here!
