This one fur variation?

Unfortunately, it's only looking as a piebald, but appears as common in the results.

Currently the only technically rare hog is the albino, the rest are considered just common fur variations for the game, but the black with white is difficult to get and some players know it as the oreo pig.

As you correctly stated, the one with the white belt is called the "oreo pig" and you won't see it too often though it's just a fur variation. But piebald hogs do exist and they are considered rare. They are the light ones with the dark spots all over the body:

I will soon be passing 500 Feral Hogs harvested and I've never gotten a piebald and that was the first orio I've seen, I hate that I couldn't finish that hunt. I have seen one albino but it was in a group that spooked after I shot one of their members, too bad I didn't see it before sticking an arrow in a pig.

Actually, the pig with the white belt is a real life Hampshire. https://www.britannica.com/animal/Hamps ... eed-of-pig

Wanna know another fun story about pigs with a white belt? In the beginning of the 20th century, Danes living under Prussian rule were prohibited from raising the Danish flag. So they bred a domestic pig with red color, a broad white vertical belt and a trace of a white horizontal belt resembling the colors of the Flag of Denmark. It was made a symbol of their cultural identity and was called "Danish Protest Pig".

At least it wasn't acually a piebald, just a belted (uncommon)
