No. This is called a Red White.

I think the colour of the eyes has nothing to do with the "red Mellon" name . Im not sure about the difference in red whites vs res mellons , but the discus from this picture looks like a red Mellon to me .
Yours like discusbi have seen labelled red whites. My red melons have more of a cream/yellow base and a blood red eye. Here's a pic

Hope this helps :)
Like Willie said, your fish is a Red White.
Liz and Willie , what's the distinguishing feature between those two , the red eye , the yellowish head or something else?
It's the white eye and the coloration.
