By the traditional meaning of the name- No.

However, these days you get "Banded RAPTOr" and "Stripe RAPTOr" and it's a lot of differing opinion.. To some people, any Tremper Eclipse is a RAPTOr.

To me personally a RAPTOr lives up to it's name, at the very least mostly.
Red-Eye Albino Patternless Tremper Orange.
I don't mean Murphy Patternless, the patternless that is involved in RAPTOr's is Patternless-Stripe which is a polygenic trait.
The one thing I would sway on is the orange part. Yellow/Yellow-Orange/Orange is, IMO, still a RAPTOr.

So, really, it's basically a lot of opinion these days.
And in my opinion, no.
