What is the difference between blue otter and blue fox mini lops?

can`t see the difference but i really don`t know much about rabbit breeds but an really keen to learn!
:)
 
I think that it's all about the color of the belly. I might be wrong but I rhink that blue otter mini lops(not ARBA recognized) have a brown/ orange belly and blue foxes have a silver belly. Maybe someone else can give you more knowledgeable information.
 
The otters have orange/fawn trim (nape of neck and outline of tan pattern markings). The fox coloration is our silver marten - white tan pattern markings.

oh lovely thanks for the replies i was looking and comparing two does in pictures from side view so main colour difference is belly and under chin ,that`ll be why i was confused LOL thanks again
 
The belly is actually white on both. The most obvious difference is the orange/fawn nape of the neck on the otter. The otter also has orange/fawn around the edges of the tan pattern markings.
