Yes, it is a RAPTOR, which has the Tremper (sometimes called Chocolate when they are dark) and Eclipse gene in it.

The term "Chocolate Albino" is given to albino leos that, when incubated purposely or accidentally at a low temperature, express darker brownish coloration. It is not an actual morph, merely a color variation of one. There are no genetics to it, the dark trait cannot be passed down to offspring.

My guess is that it's a RAPTOR incubated at a low temperature and expresses a darker hue. I'd love to see pictures.
