ya Zebra angels have more stripes than the wild type domestic angels.

your angel is a Zebra, with partial additional stripes. I have seen better examples of Zebras with extra stripes that are not partial.

Still a pretty fish.

Here are some pics of angelfish strains. Yours looks more like a common 'wild type' angel than a zebra to me.

After looking at that site I think it's a barred gold marble.
