Orange snakeskin is what we sell them as in Australia. Snakeskin have the black zigzag lines in the tail. Orange is the main colour of the tail.

Dumbo guppies have larger than usual pectoral fins (the ones near the gills). The other fins are the usual size. The name dumbo is because the pectoral fins look like Dumbo the Elephant's big ears. There are dumbo bettas as well.
The pectoral fins in the photo don't look to be bigger than usual, maybe a different angle will show them better.

But I have no idea what the colour patterning is called. I've seen the male in the photo called Spanish skirt because the black and red stripes look like a Flamenco dancer's dress.

Dumbo guppies have indeed larger p[ctoral fins. The pectoral fins being translucent or having a color doesn't say anything being a dumbo guppy or not. The only classification for a dumbo are larger pectoral fins. This means they need to carry the kalymma gene that is responsible for larger pectoral fins.
The photo with this female in it doesn't make it clear how large the pectoral fins are. So, I can't tell you wether she's a dumbo or not. But in general with most dumbo guppies, it's more the males that have the larger pectoral fins. But there are dumbo strains as well where also females have larger pectoral fins.

There's not that much you can tell about the female herself. The angle how the tail starts shows that she's from a delta line. The pattern in her tail presents itself mor like a seam and not present in the whole tail. And the pattern seems striped. This could be a mosaic female.
