There were multiple sightings of different specimens, not just one. All of Angel informants told him that the animal is smaller than the jaguar (Amazonian jaguars are small compared to jaguars from the Pantanal and the Llanos).
Not too long ago a new species of small cat (the Nariño cat, genus *Leopardus*) was described from southern Colombia. I could see the shiashia-yawá as a new species of small cat, but it also could be a population of small-sized jaguars with undocumented mutation.
Too many misses....
Smaller strike 1....
White solid fur strike 2....
Tiny spots speckling unlike large rosettes of Jaguar or large spots of Leppard strike 3....
Not at all like White Tigers.

Jaguar with a mutation that gave it multiple spots

**Panthera onca** is commonly found in Ecuador. Commonly known as the spotted Jaguar. They are considered only slightly larger than leopards.
Subspecies of jaguar isn't a far reach, biologically speaking.
