ok, then fielded doesn't mean figured out (legitimately or otherwise), contrary to what I thought. What do we call figuring it out righteously, then? It must be a green something.
Fielded psyche? More than one way to field?

There is no "no color". When called to rule on a possibly fielded psych or misbid, the English TD rules one of red, amber, or green. So yeah, if the player figured it out legally, it's green. A "green psych".

"Green" includes "figuring out legitimately" and "not figuring out at all".

I'd have thought passing 5♣ would be "green"er compared to bidding 5♦
After all, I agree with some of the posters and believe that West is in a legitimate position to deduce -- using bridge logic alone -- that his partner is psyching. So to pass and take a bad result is a legitimate action.
West's presumption that a 5♦ bid is better because partner would psyche with a minor two-suiter suggests some level of CPU

I would have no hesitation in ruling it RED and doing 60/30
