It looks a bit like sweet Dumpling :)

They change colour as they grow so not sure.

Hi Shirlton,

Some of my winter festival start off like that and some start off plain yellow, they are not very consistant on their markings but are all the same squash.  Some end up very orange and some pale yellow, some with a lot more dark green than others.  All taste good though.! :P

Hope that helps.

One of mine does.... one of them is pure yellow the other one has a bit more green...... that said at the moment I'm still betting on the Bon-Bon taking over the planet before the end of August....

Oh dear Saddad, I didn't mean to cause confusion, what does yours look like?  They can look quite different from each other? Can you post a photo?  My camera is lost or I would take some of my squashes for you. :(
