sometimes it seems like they have a slightly rounder eye area.

Also kinda a shorter mouth with more distinct stripes, these are things I ussually go by im sure other people have different methods.

Looks like I was right in your other thread with possible mislabling. Good thing you got pics, if you had them in the other thread I could have told you what it was there. I would get it if I were you.
