Exactly
Light is light. Period.
​
We describe it mathematically by models. Sometimes we get the correct prediction of experiment by using the wave picture. At other times the particle picture is more appropriate.
​
But just as my name on a sheet of paper is not me, then describing light as a particle or a wave is not light.
