Hello,
We found this crested at our local Petco. Just curious what the morph would be considered.  I thinking Yellow flame, but not sure on that.

Definitely a yellow...not sure about the flame...is the dorsal color contrasting enough to the body?  I can't quite tell from the picture.  I'm really struggling with morph ID, myself!

I've had other people say it's a chevron back and not flame.  I just got the Rhac book and to me it looks like a chevron back....all confused now Huh

That's not a chevron back.  A chevron back has chevron patterns like the Chevron gas stations, that one doesnt

No.  Flames can have little to no side patterns.

From what I have read and seen harleys are the ones that have lots of patterns on their sides and legs that might be what you are thinking.

Going with Rhac book by definition she's a chevron.  On page 79 there is a chevron without the "gas station type chevron" pattern.  The description again according to the Rhac book fits her as well on page 23.

Harleys do have patterning on the sides and legs, but I think it is much more than a typical flame would have.

Not really by definition.  Flame patterns refers to the patterns between the dorsal scales meaning that they do not need side patterns to be a flame.

From the pics you provide the gec looks to be a flame. I see pattern in it's middorsal and head areas and this makes it a flame. And erik is correct they do not need side patterns to be a flame.
