The "ears" on my female RES turned "dirty" too, so I did some extensive researching awhile back. Does her ears streak all the way back?

If this double posted sorry, they go for around a centimeters then fade back to the yellowish orange. The other ear is the same but more lighter more orange then drirty red.

I've noticed the ones that "fade" are the ones that get "dirty".
