 Nelson vs. Honduran

Whats the easiest way to tell these two apart as juveniles. I have an albino that is probably around 8 months old. She was sold to me as a Hondo but she looks like a nelson to me. Here’s a pic of her. It’s not that great. I can get another one, but she just ate tonight, so I don’t wanna mess with her for day or two. She looks to have the yellow covering the whole front of her nose, this to me would be a Nelson, but I’m not sure. Let me know what you guys think.

I see no picture, but this is generally how you can see the difference: Nelsons have one even white ring behind the eyes and a white snout. Hondurans have a V-formed ring behind the eyes and a second ring over the nose, but no white snout.
