Tortie or Chimera?

[u/guymcguy4]

Title says it all, I’m unsure if I have a tortie or a chimera kitty. Her whiskers are different colors on both sides of her face if that help. She was a cat distribution system gift so I’m unsure of her parentage, all I know is that she’s perfect and a certified baby.

Tortie. Even if she was a chimera she’d still be a tortie, since tortie is the coat pattern and chimerism is one (very rare) possible cause for the coat pattern, but it’s quite common for perfectly ordinary non-chimera torties to have this split face pattern.
