What is this pale patch on my beta?

I just bought this betta and it has this white patch. Is that just coloration?

i thought it was labelled as a female but to be honest i can’t entirely remember

it's definitely a male koi betta. females have way smaller fins from what I've seen at my work where we sell both.

I’d second make koi betta. I don’t have a tank for one and I’ve sworn off bettas and even I’m tempted to a koi ! so pretty !
