(I know calicos are also torties but for the sake of simplicity "tortie" in this post is non-calico torties)
Was having another Redtail hyperfixation, and was looking at art of him. I've noticed a clear divide between people who see Redtail as a calico vs a tortie. I know canon says he is a tortoiseshell, but so many people see him as a calico, especially people who were around in the earlier times of the fandom (SSS Warrior Cats portrayed him as a calico, but there are depictions of him unrelated to that portraying him as a calico).
How do you picture Redtail?
I personally used to see him as a calico, but Redtail's Debt made me depict him as a tortie.

I cannot shake the SSS Warriors depiction of him, so I would say calico, even if it doesn't make sense. Redtail's debt does not change anything for me personally. Then there's the fact that his littermate, Spottedleaf, is a calico in official art, which gives this idea more support.
Also, I think it just looks cooler.

The SSS Warriors designs for Redtail and Tigerstar are so ingrained into my head that I can't see them looking like anything else.

Usually I see him as a tortie with white paws and a white spot on his chest. No real reason. At most he’s a tuxedo tortie with brindling. Never a calico with patches though.

Tortie with no white.
fun lil story: back when i was little and starting Warriors for the first time, my grandma was still feeding a bunch of stray cats in her yard, and one of the regulars there was a black and ginger tortie who had the last quarter of her tail as all ginger. i've basically been picturing Redtail as her for all these years lol

He is tortie, same as spottedleaf except she has very minimal white. I like red van redtail too.
