Details:
now this is one different type of comet for sure. This is Comet C/2025 K1 Atlas currently low in the east in Virgo before sun up. This is what is referred to as a carbon deficient comet, which is quite rare and seldom seen. Note that the entire comet is a yellowish hue, even the comets coma. The tawny appearance is due to sublimated water and its disassociated byproducts. It is about 10th magnitude now and fading fast. Here is the complete data:
