It's true, I'm still somewhat ambivalent about the debate between robust and minimalist definitions of truth, but I don't think that's what you had in mind. You're just trying to insult me. Let's go back to the original scenario, shall we?

This is a hideous run-on, but it expresses a few distinct propositions.
1) I have a justified belief that your mum is fat.
2) The belief is justified by virtue of evidence (in the form of a photo)
3) Your mum is fat.
4) The photo was not of your mum, but rather of your sister.
The belief in question (as expressed in (1)) is that your mum is fat. (3) says that this belief is true. I think that's all that needs to be said on the matter. There might be some further beliefs relevent to this story, i.e. the belief that it is your mum in the photo. THAT belief would be false. But that's not the belief being evaluated.
