Diamonds when they are hatchlings look like carpets. I havnt seen a hatchy that looks like yours tho. Just wait a while and the true markings will come out. For all you know it could turn out to be a very high yellow diamond 
cheers

I posted some pics about a year ago and asked the very same question cause I had some doubts about a couple of Diamonds I have. They looked a lot like your one.Well as time goes on they are looking more and more like real Diamonds all the time.

Hybrid and intergrade are two different things.
If it is an intergrade then it is pure.
An intergrade is not a carpet X diamond.
Peter
Oh BTW, yeah, wait and see for a bit.

Py,yours looks to be a cross to me.Only reason i say that is because the rosettes are a bit too big even for such a young animal.That's just my opinion but as suggested wait and see.
I've seen a pic somewhere of a supposed true diamond with a full dorsal stripe.
Enjoy your pet python.......

Not much to go on with that pic Browns.
Just from that pic alone, I would say it's a Diamond.

Thanks peterescue!
Intergrades and hybrids are totally different.... totally.
I would have to say that is a hybrid far to many saddles which are also quite large.
Diamonds can have saddles but if they do they are small more like a blob.
Crossed blood can show up many generations later and both parents of this animal could look like pure diamonds.
Hey browns i reckon thats a ummm..... port mac, wild guess though  |

yeah i was under the impression that pure diamonds had little to no saddles...but hey, im not that experienced...mine is supposedly pure but he has 1 - 2 very small bands near his tail end. plus i've even been told that his colours are too bright to be pure diamond lol...if that makes sense...ah well, i believe he's pure anyway but i might be biased 
probly best to listen to the more experienced fellas advice and wait to see what he/she looks like when it gets older!

i can see why you have your doubts. the bands i would think should be smaller then that, but you can't really tell until the snake gets older and those bands begin to break apart. It is really a waiting game for here on in.
can you post pics of the parent you did see?

I just had my team of experts anylise this photo and we have concluded that it is indeed a Death Adder Acanthophis Antarcticus.

If anyone has pythons of the world then they could look to see if there are any scalation differences between the two types of snakes.

Thanks all for the comments. I'll be happy with her whether she turns out to be a Diamond or a Yellow Tail Black Cockatoo.
There are pics of diamonds on that link that Artie posted that have huge bands... so who knows?
Anyway, heres a pic of the mother of my python-
