Personally, I think "Reverse Pin-Stripe" is reaching a bit. Lots of cresteds have a slightly darker color underneath the crests on their sides.

As for what to call it...call it a brown and tan speckled Crested Gecko...afterall, that's what it is. Personally, I think Cresteds are too variable for them to all fit into one of the six (pinstripe, dalmatian, tiger, fire/flame, harlequin, or patternless) categories. I really don't understand why everyone insists on grouping them all into one of those categories. The purpose of a name is to describe the animal, and as you can see, none of the usual names describe this one very well. That is, in fact, because you have a very unique Cresty.

Also, remember...brown babies/juvies can end up yellow or orange as adults. Just a thought.

I agree with AnthonyC, I mentioned the "reverse pinstripe" thing because I was at a loss for how to describe this little guy, I wouldn't call it a specific morph though. He's looking good, how are the other ones doing?

Like AnthonyC said, it's hard to pin them down somtimes. Any I've had like that were sold as 'brown normals'. You could try and compare it to the colour morph pictures shown at crestedgecko.com
There's another site with good pictures, but I can't seem to find the bookmark right now.
