A "sunburst BTA" is a blanket term that can be applied to any BTA that has orange or yellow. I think you should specifically ask for a Colorado Sunburst or Chicago Sunburst, or you might get stuck with a BTA with just a hint or orange or yellow, and it will most likely end up being a normal rainbow BTA.

The photos above look to be bleached red or rainbow BTAs, but I would not buy either assuming that they're sunbursts.

This was the update on the nem from my lfs, i told my lfs to order me bta with not green as the dominant color, but nothing super fancy

It's not a sunburst, but if you're happy with the color and price, go for it! It's a beautiful BTA.
