Is this Dry spray or tiger stripe?

How would I tell the difference between dry spray and tiger stripes? I wiped the area with solvent W&G and used a bright halogen light to check out the metallics and couldn't see a difference which makes me think I'm ok. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about.
 
Looks like moisture to me, was it humid out? If it was dry spray you would be able to feel it, it would feel rougher then the area around it. What color is it solid red? If so, tiger strips would not show if fully covered.
 
I'm going to guess dry because it's out toward the middle, if it was blushing it would be where the paint was wettest. But it's hard to tell from the pics, once it's dry you should be able to tell by tacking it off, dry spray will cause the tack rag to hang up.
 
I'm with crashtech on this. You probably were stretching to reach and tipped the gun up from its perpendicular position causing the dry spray down the middle.
 
Dryspray it appears, also appears to be basecoat and a solid color. if this is a solid color 99% of the time you won't see any difference once clear is applied if full coverage was achieved

I just experienced what Bob said above. I agree with him 100%, first round of clear and completely disappeared. One thing I did before I shot the clear was wet a paper towel with 710 W&G remover and lightly wipe the area down to see if the dry stripe would disappear, and it did...
