"Opal" is a trade name. I prefer the recognized name: Platinum. Sounds so much richer and more regal. 
From my Betta Guru, indjo:
Opaque white is milk/paper white.
Platinum is pinkish metallic white.
Dragon is milk/paper but thick looking scales.

It was sold to me as a Platinum Dumbo Pegasus, I was told it was just an opal? So I just called if an Opal…."Opal" is a trade name. I prefer the recognized name: Platinum. Sounds so much richer and more regal.

Platinum Dumbo. Don't know what a Pegasus might be, though.
I've had several Platinum Dumbos but two stand out: Jeeves and Boo. Loved them both. Thankfully, they didn't bite their fins. Another one did. His name was Leander. Loved him, too.

Large pectorals ("ears") make a "Dumbo" or Elephant Ear Betta.
Your boy, IMO, is a lovely, lovely Betta.
